"Begging For Change" lyrics
We are being strip-mined by the powers that be
We are being strip-mined by the new bourgeoisie
Now we're begging, ah
B-E-G-G-I-N-G (Spell it for me)
Begging for change
I wanna change my hair, I wanna change my name (Change)
I wanna change the storyline, the carpet, my voice, my aims (Change)
B-E-G-G-I-N-G (Ah, spell it for me)
Begging for change
I wanna change my shoes, I wanna change my car (Change)
I wanna change my way of life, the temperature, the way things are
B-E-G-G-I-N-G (Mm, yeah, mm, spell it for me)
Begging for change
I wanna change my job, I wanna change my attitude (Change)
I wanna change myself, I wanna change me, him, and you
I've seen the future, the future is hard
You pay with your life, they pay with their card
Yeah
B-E-G-G-I-N-G (Ah, spell it for me)
Begging for change
It's time to wake up, and smell the unfairness
It's the end of the west, which is, perhaps, for the best
It's the end of the west, which is, perhaps, for the best
But I couldn't care less
I couldn't care less, no
B-E-G-G-I-N-G
Begging for change
Weren't you the ones tryna make a change
Slash prices at a stroke, break the supermarket chains?
Yes, sir, that was us, it was a joke
Yes, sir, that was us, it was a joke, yeah?
B-E-G-G-I-N-G
Begging for change
We took to the streets with a banner that reads, with a banner that reads, "Next customer, please"
We took to the streets with a banner that reads, "Next customer, please, next customer, please"
Shut up, please
Begging for
Change
Begging for (I beg to differ, I beg your pardon?)
Change (I beg to live)
Begging for (I beg to breathe)
Change (I beg for money, I beg for change)
Begging for (I beg for food)
Change (I beg for drink)
Begging for (I beg to exist)
Change
Begging for
Begging for change
Begging for change
Begging for change
Begging for change
Begging for change
Change, change, change
Begging for change
Begging for
Change, change, change
Begging for
Change, change, change
Begging for
Begging for
All throughout history, it's always the same
Everyone, everywhere, begging for change
I've seen the future, the future is strange
When you're begging for change, you're begging for chains
Begging for chains
So, change
We are being strip-mined by the new bourgeoisie
Now we're begging, ah
B-E-G-G-I-N-G (Spell it for me)
Begging for change
I wanna change my hair, I wanna change my name (Change)
I wanna change the storyline, the carpet, my voice, my aims (Change)
B-E-G-G-I-N-G (Ah, spell it for me)
Begging for change
I wanna change my shoes, I wanna change my car (Change)
I wanna change my way of life, the temperature, the way things are
B-E-G-G-I-N-G (Mm, yeah, mm, spell it for me)
Begging for change
I wanna change my job, I wanna change my attitude (Change)
I wanna change myself, I wanna change me, him, and you
I've seen the future, the future is hard
You pay with your life, they pay with their card
Yeah
B-E-G-G-I-N-G (Ah, spell it for me)
Begging for change
It's time to wake up, and smell the unfairness
It's the end of the west, which is, perhaps, for the best
It's the end of the west, which is, perhaps, for the best
But I couldn't care less
I couldn't care less, no
B-E-G-G-I-N-G
Begging for change
Weren't you the ones tryna make a change
Slash prices at a stroke, break the supermarket chains?
Yes, sir, that was us, it was a joke
Yes, sir, that was us, it was a joke, yeah?
B-E-G-G-I-N-G
Begging for change
We took to the streets with a banner that reads, with a banner that reads, "Next customer, please"
We took to the streets with a banner that reads, "Next customer, please, next customer, please"
Shut up, please
Begging for
Change
Begging for (I beg to differ, I beg your pardon?)
Change (I beg to live)
Begging for (I beg to breathe)
Change (I beg for money, I beg for change)
Begging for (I beg for food)
Change (I beg for drink)
Begging for (I beg to exist)
Change
Begging for
Begging for change
Begging for change
Begging for change
Begging for change
Begging for change
Change, change, change
Begging for change
Begging for
Change, change, change
Begging for
Change, change, change
Begging for
Begging for
All throughout history, it's always the same
Everyone, everywhere, begging for change
I've seen the future, the future is strange
When you're begging for change, you're begging for chains
Begging for chains
So, change
