Tell me why I try.  Show me who I've moved.  I'm penning thoughts that speak to empty rooms.      It's easy to forget.  The things I feel which are important.  Are only in my little world.  And the things I say.  Even if I open a vein.  Won't make much of a dent.    Can't change the world.      [Chorus]    Oh, a song should go like that.  Oh, pick up a pen and kick back.  That's not how it is.  Can't you see?  Something had to happen to move me.  An ounce of my life and a lot of time.  Are all I can offer college ruled lines.    Can't change the world    [Chorus]
