Can't Change The World Lyrics
People say that it's impossible to fly
But you don't know what I'm thinking
Don't want to be just like the other hundred guys
Yeah you don't know what I'm thinking
Can't change the world?
Can't change the whole world?
You say it's crumbling all around you
And you're trying to get out
People say that out of sight is out of mind
But you don't know what I'm thinking
Don't want to listen to the ignorance and lies
Yeah you don't know what I'm thinking
And isn't it ironic sometimes?
The things we take for granted are what we wanted
Before we knew why
And isn't it the reason we try?
To make the excuse that it won't go the right way
Before its gone wrong
But you don't know what I'm thinking
Don't want to be just like the other hundred guys
Yeah you don't know what I'm thinking
Can't change the whole world?
You say it's crumbling all around you
And you're trying to get out
But you don't know what I'm thinking
Don't want to listen to the ignorance and lies
Yeah you don't know what I'm thinking
The things we take for granted are what we wanted
Before we knew why
And isn't it the reason we try?
To make the excuse that it won't go the right way
Before its gone wrong

The last verse of this song is absolutely golden. The truth that it speaks is mind-blowing. "The things we take for granted are what we wanted/Before we knew why."
I can also see this song from an entrepreneur point-point-of-view...someone who WANTS to affect the world and who has to defend himself against all-talk, no-action critics.
