I’m definitely hearing the lyrics differently…where does the “we are four” part come in? And also I think it’s “if we’re not the change we want to see,” not “sing.” I don’t blame whoever posted the lyrics, though, cause the album’s not actually out yet. Hah. I think the message is very straightforward: “If we’re not the change we want to see, the change will be me.” Basically telling people to quit being apathetic and to BE the change they want to see in this world. “When we are loud, we are one; when we are one, we are more.” When we come together with a common passion, especially through music, we can be heard. Quite simple really, but that’s what gives this song such a punch. The Matches are wonderful. :]
