You'd be sad if you read the news of today

Cause' it's guns and the crimes still getting all the headlines

You'd be wondering what went wrong for it to turn out that way, out that way

You would hide in the shadows

Away from the rest cause' you know only, only the pretty girls deserve the best

Who in the world, made the rules that we should feel that way, feel that way



I think it's time some things should change

It doesn't have to be that way

I think it's time some things should change

It doesn't have to be that way



You're the first on the list when numbers are glowing

And the last on their list at the end of your success

Cos' you should have known better

That it has always been that way, been that way

You remember the past

The slamming, the screaming of your parents

And so you stop believing in love

And you think it's okay but it doesn't have to be that way, be that way



I think it's time some things should change

It doesn't have to be that way

I think it's time some things should change

It doesn't have to be that way
