It's always been red against blue
It's always been me against you
But why can we come together
With all this bickering and fighting
With all the bitching and moaning
Does anyone really care about us anymore

This world has come so far
But we are setting ourselves back
We were once together
Now we are far apart
It's time for a change
For the better
It's time for a change
One we can keep forever

Everytime we mess up
We always try to put the balme
Upon someone else
And never ourselves
We all understand life isn't fair
We all understand life isn't easy
But now it's time for a change

This world has come so far
But we are setting ourselves back
We were once together
Now we are far apart
It's time for a change
For the better
It's time for a change
One we can keep forever

Does anyone feel the pain we do
Every single day of our lives
How we are just making it by
Has anyone felt our pain
Of knowing things arn't the same
As they used to be

This world has come so far
But we are setting ourselves back
We were once together
Now we are far apart
It's time for a change
For the better
It's time for a change
One we can keep forever

[Spoken:]

I'm just thankful for everyday of my life
Because it's not the same as it used to be
This world is really messed up
And if it doesn't change soon
It never will
So I have high hopes for Mr Obama
I'm sure he will do well
