Engineering change
I've been told that we can't
I've been told that we can't
I've been told that we can't
No use in trying
No use in trying
No use in trying
To change the world
To change the world
To change the world
But wait, this just in
Hell-bent on breaking all the rules
Shattering to smithereens
Mind warping notions
Revolutionary concepts
Yes we are going to break all the rules
Write a new chapter
They said we couldn't do it
Whatever will be, will be
Dyin' for a fight
Just watch me
They will rue the day
They ever challenged me
Apocalyptic event
Astonishing disclosure
We are going to wake 'em up
Shake 'em up
Like they've never been shaken up before
I've been told that we can't
I've been told that we can't
I've been told that we can't
No use in trying
No use in trying
Mo use in trying
To change the world
To change the world
To change the world
No more kid gloves
Dyin' for a fight
No more kid gloves
A fierce revolution
A blazing light
No more kid gloves
Knock 'em silly
Just watch me
Pound, pound, pound
Have no mercy
Pound, pound, pound
No mercy, no mercy, no mercy
Channel all that anger
Demand, demand, demand
A bright day
Pierce 'em, pierce 'em, pierce 'em
Pierce their frozen hearts until they burn free
Pierce 'em until the light breaks through
No time for hesitating
Demand, demand, demand
A bright day
No more kid gloves
Pound, pound, pound
Knock 'em silly
No time for holding back
Let the flood gates out
Let the flood gate out
Let the flood gates out
No stopping
Til they scream, the bloody scream
Til they scream, the bloody scream
Til they scream, the bloody scream
Not through violence
Not through violence
Not through violence
But through long, hard thought
But through long, hard thought
But through long, hard thought
Pierce 'em
Straight through to the heart
Straight through to the heart
Straight through to the heart
Time to change how we've been looking at things
Think the change will do us all some good
Let's join together to make a brighter day
Let's work together to find a better way
Demand a brighter day
Demand a brighter day
Demand a brighter day
Pound, pound, pound
Knock 'em silly
No more sugar
No more sugar
No more sugar
Tired of all the fightin'
Tired of all the discussin'
Tired of all the fightin'
Tired of all the discussin'
Straight through to the heart
Cast out your frozen heart
Come clean, come clean, come clean
Admit what you've done
Admit you've made mistakes
It's our only chance for a brighter day
Straight through to the heart
Heads will light up
Souls will break free
Work arm-in-arm to free ourselves
From the pain, from the agony, from the sorrow
Til we hear the scream, the bloody scream
Til we hear them scream, the bloody scream
Til we hear the scream, the bloody scream
Speak the truth
It's our only hope for a brighter day
I'll catch you if you fall
Trust me I won't let go
I won't let go
Boom
I've been told that we can't
I've been told that we can't
I've been told that we can't
No use in trying
No use in trying
No use in trying
To change the world
To change the world
To change the world
But wait, this just in
Hell-bent on breaking all the rules
Shattering to smithereens
Mind warping notions
Revolutionary concepts
Yes we are going to break all the rules
Write a new chapter
They said we couldn't do it
Whatever will be, will be
Dyin' for a fight
Just watch me
They will rue the day

I've been told that we can't
I've been told that we can't
I've been told that we can't
No use in trying
No use in trying

To change the world
To change the world
To change the world
No more kid gloves

No more kid gloves
