Cover art for Change lyrics by Daniel Merriweather

So yeah, it means that people need to think about life and government. Not to just go with the flow and not to "believe everything that you read" if you want society to move on and become better.

the start is good: "i saw a dried up river and a rich man turning on a garden hose, i see a young man picking up a gun i guess that's where the money goes" this obviously talks about the inequality that exists and how pointless it is and why the rich [[that's including you and me]] should think and act abouts happening.

"am i jus as good as a bad man sleeping when the rest are dying or am i jus as bad as a good man saying theres no use of trying" just as it's bad as letting people die, it's also wrong to assume "there's no point in trying". there's always point in trying, there is always hope.
