Don't Turn

Do you want to make a difference?
Do you wonder what would happen if you don't?
Do you need just a little push?
Do you try to change?

Do you about the other guy?
Do you want just one good reason why you should?
Do you only think about yourself?
Do you want to be left alone?

You're running out of time
And i don't see a change in you
And i don't think you're gonna make it

Do you understand the way it works?
Do you want to take as much as you can get?
Do you need a little push?
Do you try to change?

You're running out of time
And i don't see a change in you
And i don't think you're gonna make it

We're running out of time and there aren't many changes made
And i don't think were going to make it
We're running out of time and there aren't many changes made
And i don't think were going to make it

Well, what do you think?
Yeah, that's what i thought

Four year old at play
Shot and killed today
Never even had a chance
Seventeen and high
Threw away his life
Has a gun to feel like he's a man
Can't have it any other way

Laying in the street
Asking for a drink
Doesn't have a place to live
Pregnant at thirteen
Still can hear the screams
Something that she never will forget
Can't have it any other way

I'm trying to open my mind

So you can keep your faith
And i'll just walk away
There's no reason for me to stay

I'm trying to open my mind
I'm trying to make up my mind

So what's the problem this time?
I thought you'd learn by now that nothing ever works out right
You want to take away the edge
You tell me it's the only thing that helps you forget
You've made your promises
That's not enough this time
There's only so much you can squander from a feeble mind

You've got a problem with your life
You've got a problem with your mind

Don't try to tell me that you think it's going to work out fine
So go ahead and try to hide
The world around you watches on as you destroy you life
Do what your problem says
There's not a lot of time
There's only so much you can squander from a feeble mind

You've got a problem with your life

You don't know what you want to be
You don't know what you want to do
Never going to amount to much of anything
So what's the difference if you win or lose?
Well that's something
Well isn't that something
You've done nothing wrong and it's never your fault
You've done nothing

Don't care where your friends have gone
Because you never really needed them anyway
Never going to be exactly who you are
Because you try too hard to be just like them
Well that's something
Well isn't that something
You've done nothing wrong and it's never your fault
You've done nothing

You've got brains in your head
Feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
Any way you choose
You're on your own
And you know what you know
And it's up to you to decide where you'll go
Well that's something
Well isn't that something
You've done nothing wrong and it's never your fault
You've done nothing

There is someone who knows everything there is to know
There is someone who is too afraid to let it show
We live by consequences
We never seem to get it right
Conflict of circumstances
And sometimes we may lose a fight

Wouldn't you know
Something is going wrong
Wouldn't you know
Something is really wrong
And you can't do a thing about it

No, no, no you have no authority
No, no, no i am who i want to be

There are those of us who just sit back and never try
There are those of us who just sit back and wonder why
We live by consequences
We never seem to get it right
Conflict of circumstances
And sometimes we may lose a fight

Wouldn't you know
Something is going wrong
Wouldn't you know
Something is really wrong
And you can't do a thing about it

No, no, no you have no authority
No, no, no i am who i want to be

There is nothing new
Put in front of you
Nothing you don't understand
Don't try to rationalize
No one hears your lies
Only you can comprehend

You don't want to see
You don't want to hear
You don't want to feel at all
Tell me that you've tries
Mind is open wide
But you're not listening at all

Please don't question me i don't have the time
If there's a problem that it's easier to set aside
There is nothing that will make you want to change your mind
You can't take it
You can't make it
You can't make it so why try?

There is nothing new put in front of you
Tell me that you've tried to
Tell me that your mind is open

Please don't question me i don't have the time
If there's a problem that it's easier to set aside
There is nothing that will make you want to change your mind
You can't take it
You can't make it
You can't make it so why try?
