I slept through my classes and I stayed up late

Writing leaflets, painting signs to demonstrate

I wrote a message on my shirt and I wore it everyday

I'm letting everyone know what I have to say

There's a new world in my heart that I can feel

And I'm gonna work to make it real

I pasted a bunch of posters on the wall

I wrote a little message in the bathroom stall

I started up a conversation on the train

I convinced my friend's brother not to join the Marines

I wrote a song and sang it at the top of my lungs

I held a banner up til my hands went numb

I pushed my way through the barricades

Went down the sides streets and had my own parade

I saw a bunch of people looking hungry on the street

So I got a bunch of food and gave it all away for free

I stole from rich corporations and I gave to the poor

One day I won't have to do that anymore

Now there's hundreds of thousands dead in Iraq

I won't turn my head away while they're under attack

I'm a force for change, I'm an activist

I will organize and struggle for a peace that sticks

I didn't go and vote, no I didn't need to

I vote everyday through what I do

Won't give away my power to a bureaucrat

Don't need representation, I'm stronger than that

Everybody's waiting for a miracle cure

Asking everybody else when no one's sure

The answer's in your hands, that's what you gotta know

You gotta shape it, if you wanna see it grow
