Change the Man
Transforming Society: Embrace Change, Unite for Progress
Lyrics
Don't talk to me about ban the bomb
Reject discussions about anti-nuclear sentiments.
Don't talk to me about who's side I'm on
Refuse to engage in conversations about taking sides.
Replace the system with one just the same
Propose replacing the existing system with one identical.
Don't you know that we are all to blame
Acknowledge collective responsibility for the current state.
It's so easy as an armchair blamer
Criticize those who criticize without taking action.
Get off your seat and make a personal change sir
Encourage active personal change instead of passive blame.
Can't change the system by smashing it down
Highlight the futility of trying to change the system by force.
Inside route personal revolution
Suggest an internal, personal revolution as the way to change.
Chorus
< em > Chorus
Change the man
Advocate for changing individual behavior.
Rip out the root
Eliminate the root cause of problems.
Let's get rid of this insanity
Call for the removal of destructive behaviors or ideas.
When the mothers had told the kids straight
Reflect on a time when parents provided clear guidance.
When the fathers felt no more hate
Remember a time when fathers no longer harbored hatred.
When a man can walk down the street without fear
Envision a world where people can walk without fear.
Then thing must change and it's not too late
Express optimism that change is still possible.
