Lyrics
Who's gonna sing a song of change
Questioning who will advocate for change through song.
If no one can imagine life outside the beaten track?
Expressing the challenge of envisioning a life outside conventional paths.
And who's gonna stop the running train
Pondering who will halt the relentless progress if no one reflects or looks back.
If no one cares to dwell and no one wants to look back?
Highlighting the lack of interest in retrospection and contemplation.
Somewhere along the line you gave up asking
Noting the abandonment of questioning when faced with complexity.
When it got a little too complex
Describing a point where questioning ceased due to increasing complexity.
But if you don't question what has been
Raising the question of caring about the future by not questioning the past.
Does it mean that you don't care what's coming next?
Exploring the link between questioning the past and caring about the future.
You've got no one to follow
Acknowledging the absence of a leader to follow.
And no one will follow you
Highlighting the lack of followership for an individual.
Ain't that a relief
Expressing relief in not having followers.
That everything and everyone must grow in opposition
Emphasizing growth through opposition, a necessity for everything and everyone.
To resistance and contradiction,
Stressing the role of resistance and contradiction in growth.
This ain't no time to go to sleep
Declaring that it's not the time to be passive or indifferent.
This ain't no time to go to sleep
Reiterating the message that it's not the time to be complacent.
So who's gonna sing a song of faith
Asking who will sing a song of faith in intangible values.
If no one pray's for anything that can't be bought or sold?
Pointing out the lack of prayers for non-materialistic things.
And who's gonna tell the stroy straight
Raising the question of whether there is still belief in untold stories.
Does anyone believe there's still a story to be told?
Expressing skepticism about the existence of untold stories.
Somewhere along the line you just stopped walking
Describing the cessation of progress when faced with a strong undercurrent.
When the undercurrent got too strong
Exploring the halt in walking when challenges become overpowering.
Someday a lonely busker will come knocking
Anticipating a future encounter with a street musician bearing a forgotten song.
With a soft and long forgotten song
Describing the nature of the song that the busker will bring.
That you've got no one to follow
Reiterating the absence of a leader to follow.
And no one will follow you
Emphasizing the lack of followers for an individual.
Ain't that a relief
Expressing relief in the absence of followers.
That everything and everyone must grow in opposition
Restating the necessity for growth through opposition.
To resistance and contradiction,
Highlighting the role of resistance and contradiction in growth.
This ain't no time to go to sleep
Declaring that it's not the time to be passive or indifferent.
Oh, this ain't no time to go to sleep
Reiterating the message that it's not the time to be complacent.
