A Call For Change

Testing out the microphone

Just trying to get a tone

That good enough for you

But the sound guy has his shoes

Up on the board

Surrounded by a hoard

Of fans

For the bands

I’ll put his career on a shelf

And do the sound all by my self

I'm adjusting EQ

And testing 1,2

Just moving the faders

For the work evaders

The nations slackers

Contributed to by hackers

Nothing getting done

Only having fun

What happened to the work force

There's no feelings of remorse

Do we not care anymore

Or did we just not before?

Have we all gone shopping?

Is that why we are stopping?

Pull in and park it

Go to the market

Buy some bread and cheese

The prices bring me to my knees

I can't believe the inflation

Of prices across the nation

Meeting basic needs

Verse corporate greeds

The resources split

But we all permit

Standing by and doing nothing

Our minds are filled with stuffing

I can't stand the silence

And all the violence

Something must be said

Before more end up dead

This calls for change

It shouldn't be that strange

Get off your ***

Stop wasting gas

Rise up and rebel

Help the motion excel

The motion for change

I hope it doesn't derange

Our fragile mental state

And just start a debate

A strong motion

Needs full devotion

So give it your all

And don't let it fall

The motion for change

Shouldn't be that strange

Now it's our generations turn

To show some concern

For the world around us

And make it a plus

To live in this time

That is full of crime

What can YOU do

To end the taboo?

We need to start

And do our part

Just call for change

It’s within your range

To do what is needed

To get the ideas seeded

In the minds of the world

Now the scroll is unfurled

And the list is read

How many more will end up dead?

Is that what it takes

A list of names

Before society breaks

And then blames

The government and leaders

At the door are the greeters

Inviting you to take action

And begin an interaction

Between the leaders and the rest of us

Some one needs to start making a fuss

If you don't then who will

The sound of oppression is quite shrill

It's a conspiracy to be free

And clear the debris from the decree

Don't allow the misinterpretation

To define the nation

It's a call for clarity

I say it with the most sincerity

A call for change

It might not be strange

For those of the yesteryears

It might bring some tears

To the eyes of those who once held the signs

On government steps

To change the minds

Of the House of Reps

To get what you want

You can't be nonchalant

In your manner

So make a banner

And shout it out

Fight for what you are without!
