I Wanted To Change The World But The World Changed Me Lyrics by POP ETC

Souvenir

2016

[Verse 1]
Some song came on
It took me back to when I was young
The future looked so bright
Didn't know that I'd become
Like you, like you
[Verse 2]
Now every day just rolls on by like it's the same
When did this life transform into a pointless game?
I couldn't keep up, now I keep my head down
Cause they all pegged me in this broken old town
[Chorus]
I used to be chasing after something
But now I just shuffle my feet
I wanted to change the world
But the world, it changed me, it changed me
[Verse 3]
If I can rake it through this week I know I'll be fine
That became my motto somewhere along the line
For you, for you
[Pre-Chorus]
I couldn't keep up, now I keep my head down
Cause they all pegged me in this broken old town
[Chorus]
I used to be chasing after something
But now I just shuffle my feet
I wanted to change the world
But the world, it changed me, it changed me
[Verse 1]
Some song came on
It took me back to when I was young
The future looked so bright
Didn't know that I'd become
Like you, like you
[Chorus]
I used to be chasing after something
But now I just shuffle my feet
I wanted to change the world
But the world, it changed me, it changed me
I used to be chasing after something
But now I just shuffle my feet
I wanted to change the world
But the world, it changed me, it changed me
