Everyone wants to change the world but no one wants to change themselves lyrics

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me, where is sanity?
Tax the rich, feed the poor
'Til there are no rich no more

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding, economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money? No, not poor me

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Oh, yeah

World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war

I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

Leo Tolstoy

Good morning peeps, meditation done.

Quote for the Day:

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”

Leo Tolstoy

Change has to begin within yourself, otherwise,

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got.”

Many people attribute this quote to Anthony Robbins and before him Albert Einstein, Henry Ford, and even Mark Twain. Regardless of the origin, what matters is the point it makes.

There is no point in having huge goals if you are not prepared to make changes to your own lifestyle and habits in order to achieve them, otherwise your dreams will merely be delusions of grandeur.

I have recently suffered a huge slap back to reality, which as painful as it has been, has actually been a blessing in disguise and made me make some necessary changes in my own life and actions, which have immediately had a positive impact on everything I am doing.

Success will not magically appear in your life without significant accountability, focus, and optimism.

You need to give yourself credit for your achievements and celebrate your victories, whilst you strive for continual improvement.

Continual improvement means analysing your progress, whilst carrying on doing what you know works, but making sure you change the things that are not working so well or having the desired affect.

Take a look at yourself in the mirror; are there any changes you can make in yourself for the better?

Have a superb Saturday peeps and a wonderful weekend.

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”

May all your dreams come true.

Breathe, Believe and Achieve

Be Happy, Healthy and Wise

Keep on Winning, Smiling and Living the Dream

Namaste

  • Do you really want it?

    We say, "give me a high, oh god, give me a feeling"
    ('Cause I've lost my reason)
    We say, "give me a push, a push through this"
    (Concrete ceiling)
    We say "give me a sign that proves what I believe in"
    (A psychic reading)
    So I can shake these American demons
    Give me, give me, give me

    Everybody wants to change the world
    But one thing's clear
    No one ever wants to change themselves
    That's the way things are
    All because we hate the buzzkill
    Jaded when we need to feel
    But we can change it all if you really want it

    Do you really want it?
    Do you really want it?
    Ka, ka, ka, ka

    You gotta bite the bullet 'til your gums are bleeding
    (Grab the mic and scream it)
    You gotta dig up the past to get past this
    (Anxious feeling)
    You gotta get ripped apart to see why you're breathing
    (To find your reason)
    So I can shake these American demons
    Give me, give me, give me

    Everybody wants to change the world
    But one thing's clear
    No one ever wants to change themselves
    That's the way things are
    All because we hate the buzzkill
    Jaded when we need to feel
    But we can change it all
    If you really want it
    Then we can change it all

    Do you really want it?
    Do ya, do ya?
    Do you really want it?
    Do ya, do ya?
    So I can shake these American demons
    Screaming, screaming, screaming

    Everybody wants to change the world
    But one thing's clear
    No one ever wants to change themselves
    That's the way things are
    All because we hate the buzzkill
    Jaded when we need to feel
    But we can change it all (we can change it all)
    We can change it all
    If you really want it
    (Oh, oh we can change it all, yeah we can change it all)
    (If you really want it)
    (Oh, oh we can change it all, yeah we can change it all)

    Everybody wants to change the world (we can change it all)
    No one ever wants to change themselves (we can change it all)
    Everybody wants to change the world (we can change it all)
    No one ever wants to change themselves (we can change it all)
    Everybody wants to change the world (we can change it all)
    No one ever wants to change themselves (we can change it all)
    Everybody wants to change the world (we can change it all)
    No one ever wants to change themselves Writer/s: BEN DALTON ANDERSON II, DANIEL OLIVER, JONATHAN TAYLOR HAWKINS, MARK ANTHONY VOLLELUNGA, SCOTT STEVENS, WILL HOFFMAN
