You'd be sad if you read the news of today
Cause' it's guns and the crimes still getting all the headlines
You'd be wondering what went wrong for it to turn out that way, out that way
You would hide in the shadows
Away from the rest cause' you know only, only the pretty girls deserve the best
Who in the world, made the rules that we should feel that way, feel that way

I think it's time some things should change
It doesn't have to be that way
I think it's time some things should change
It doesn't have to be that way

You're the first on the list when numbers are glowing
And the last on their list at the end of your success
Cos' you should have known better
That it has always been that way, been that way 
You remember the past
The slamming, the screaming of your parents
And so you stop believing in love
And you think it's okay but it doesn't have to be that way, be that way

I think it's time some things should change
It doesn't have to be that way
I think it's time some things should change
It doesn't have to be that way
