Always searching for a sign, that the world is falling down
Ever ceasing to resign, when the forecast speaks of storms around
You’re never gonna save the world (so give up the fight)
You’re never gonna change the world (and I don’t even mind)
You rejoice when the dark gets darker
Cause it means that you’ll be gone before too long
You wanna leave this world in style
But what if we are here for a while?

You’re never gonna save the world (so give up the fight)
You’re never gonna change the world (and I don’t even mind)
Don’t polish brass on this sinking ship (so wipe off that grin)
It’s all going to hell in a hand basket (even God can’t win)
These self-fulfilling prophecies
A plague, a virus and disease

You’re never gonna save the world (so give up the fight)
You’re never gonna change the world (and I don’t even mind)
Don’t polish brass on this sinking ship (so wipe off that grin)
It’s all going to hell in a hand basket (even God can’t win)
You’re never gonna save the world
You’re never gonna change the world
Time to reach for higher ground
Time to take the time
Winds of change have blown me down
Conquering the line
