[Verse 1]
Everywhere is
Freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies
Tell me, where is sanity?
[Verse 2]
Tax the rich
Feed the poor
Till there are no
Rich no more
[Chorus]
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
[Verse 3]
Population
Keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding
Still more feeding, economy
[Verse 4]
Life is funny
Skies are sunny
Bees make honey
Who needs money? No, not poor me
[Chorus]
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
[Ad-Lib]
Oh yeah!
[Verse 5]
World pollution
Is no solution
Institution
Electrocution
Spread them wide
Rich or poor
Them and us
Stop the war
[Chorus]
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
