I want to change the world, it isn't well
But I can't even change myself
That doesn't mean I never will, there's hope left in me still
Oh I've just been giving in
Giving in to the world I live in
What I believe I'd like to be
Now don't lose faith in me
It doesn't seem we've come that far
But that's from where we are
I've just been giving in, giving in to the world I live in
Talk is cheap when we're stroking ourselves
Full of great intentions but knowing all too well
We might be giving in
So say I reach what I believe
Then what is left for me
I'll still be an average man, wanting much more than I am
And I might be giving in
Giving in to the world I live in
