Michael Ess told me when we were kids
I had my head in the clouds
That music really didn't matter

And my vision, my vision was blurred
My head got stuck on what he said
I walked out instead

Last time I saw my friend
He came back high on Zen


Just keep believing
Nothing is wrong
You can't change the world with a song

[x2]

Last time I saw her she was a wreck

I mean a beautiful mess
The kind with pinpoint eyes
Blue skies, and alibis

And oh my, she taught me to fly
And I never asked why
I had nowhere to go

She moved too fast
I moved too slow


Just keep believing
Nothing is wrong
You can't change the world with a song

[x2]

Just keep believing

Nothing is wrong
You can't change the world with a song
[x2]


The past is buried where it belongs
In a hole brought back by songs

For me that's alright
I ain't losing sleep at night
Marc the Red, he needed more

Bought Jesus at the liquor store
We share nothing at all
Just a chequered past and a creepy crawl


Just keep believing
Nothing is wrong

You can't change the world with a song
[x4]
