"World Change Me" lyrics

The monsters all fled from under my bed
Now they're downtown walking the streets
Idol in my hand, bible in the nightstand
Swear the Devil lives in the black screen

It's easy to fold, to fall
To throw your hands up and join 'em all

Hard to be a light, hard to be alone
Hard to keep fighting in a world that ain't home
Tryna stay kind, tryna find hope
Lotta lost children tell you how to act grown
Drink up all the poison in your cup
Chains make you think you're free
Maybe I can't change the ways of this world
But I won't let the world change me

Money and sex, will of the flesh
Tell a man they can do no harm
Pull a man close, let him think he's in control
That's how they put a hole in his heart

It's easy to fold, to fall
To throw your hands up and join 'em all
I wake up in a sweat to the devil and his friends
Saying good luck getting through the dark

It's hard to be a light, hard to be alone
Hard to keep fighting in a world that ain't home
Tryna stay kind, tryna find hope
Lotta lost children tell you how to act grown
Drink up all the poison in your cup
Chains make you think you're free
Maybe I can't change the ways of this world
But I won't let the world change me

I won't lay down
Not then, not here, not now
I'll stand my ground
Those feet ain't where I bow

I won't lay down
Not then, not here, not now
I'll stand my ground
Those feet ain't where I bow

So drink up all the poison in your cup
Chains make you think you're free
Maybe I can't change the ways of this world
But I won't let the world change me
Maybe I can't change the ways of this world
But I won't let the world change me

No, I won't let the world change me
