[Verse 1] I'm a born-again disaster, Toxic ever after. Have you ever... not coughed through laughter? Ever since the bomb, it’s been a long— A long time coming. Memories of everybody running. Fireballs... siren calls... Ears ring from blasts, Praying the walls don't fall. [Pre-Chorus] A change gon' come, A smack in the face. I’ve been living on the run, I'm afraid to stay. 'Cause I now know this taste, Flowing through the sky. Life at a pace... where second place means you die. (Second place means you die...) [Chorus] Oh, it's a bitter little pill, It's enough to make you kill. Every step is uphill, Every day I'm growing ill. Welcome to a place where air has a taste you can't erase— It just erases you. (Yeah, yeah, it erases you) (It erases you) (It erases you...) [verse 2] The walls didn't make it, The rubble’s now vacant. A long time coming, but I know... A change gon' come. [Bridge] Enough tears pool together, Enough hearts pull together. The fears of the fools do better... And that's when— [Chorus] A change gon' come, A smack in the face! I’ve been living on the run, I'm afraid to stay. 'Cause I now know this taste, Flowing through the sky— Life at a pace... Where peace shines, And nobody else has to die. (Nobody has to die...) [Outro] A change gon' come... Oh yes, it will.
