| We all got big plans but nothing to do
|
| Saturday afternoon couch surfin' the news
|
| We get high to escape the new locals
|
| What the tv shows ain’t nothing
|
| But a heartbreak on a dead-end road
|
| We’re all tired of the shit they’re saying
|
| We don’t understand so we keep waiting
|
| For our moment to shine
|
| For a chance to make it right
|
| For a reason to try
|
| Ain’t we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
|
| Ain’t we all just tryin' to be something to somebody else
|
| The world’s begging for change
|
| And we get carried away helping ourselves
|
| Ain’t we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
|
| Ain’t we all just tryin' to be something, be something
|
| All I want is somehow to make my folks proud
|
| Thought it’d take a few months in a ten-year town
|
| But it’s hard and harder to pray and harder to say
|
| I’m sorry but I’m workin' and I can’t talk today
|
| I’m so tired of the shit I’m saying
|
| I don’t like it but hell I keep on waiting
|
| For a moment to shine
|
| To make it all alright
|
| To make 'em smile
|
| I just wanna make 'em smile
|
| Ain’t we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
|
| Ain’t we all just tryin' to be something to somebody else
|
| The world’s begging for change
|
| And we get carried away helping ourselves
|
| Ain’t we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
|
| Ain’t we all just tryin' to be something, be something
|
| I just wanna make them smile
|
| I’m so tired of the shit I’m saying
|
| I just wanna mean something
|
| Ain’t we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
|
| Ain’t we all just tryin' to be something to somebody else
|
| The world’s begging for change
|
| And we get carried away helping ourselves
|
| Ain’t we all just tryin' to mean something, mean something
|
| Ain’t we all just tryin' to be something, be something
|
| Ain’t we all just trying to mean something
|
| Ain’t we all just trying to mean something |
