Change It! Words and Music by Bill Pere I really wish the world were spinning in reverse So life is getting better when it's really getting worse And everything that's wrong is gone and all that's left is right, And day is night I hate the food I get at school, there's too much work to do Mystery meat and gruel and on my test, a fifty-two The same old stuff is on TV and life is just a bore And my brothers snore!   If you don't like it Change It! Don't just take it lying down If it doesn't suit you, rearrange it Don't stand there complaining, Change It! If you don't like it, Change It! Be in charge of your own life There's no magic, nothing strange, If it's not the way you want it, Change It! My dog has stinky breath and he's peeing on the rug And my cousin Elmo's coming, Mom will make me give hug There's asparagus for dinner but I'd rather have dessert And my new shoes hurt! It's cold outside and Dad will make me wear that awful scarf With chartreuse color polka-dots that make me want to barf The cheese fell of my pizza, now my lap has a red spot And it was hot! If you don't like it Change It! Don't just take it lying down If it doesn't suit you, rearrange it Don't stand there complaining, Change It! If you don't like it, Change It! You can speak up, use your voice Life has lots of glasses all half empty or half full, Your choice! My sister took my underwear and ran it up a tree, Now I'm full of splinters in places I can't see I can't get anybody to do anything for me And nothing's free! There's a new zit on my nose and there's a wart on my big toe The questions on my science test were things I didn't know I wish that I were rich but my allowance is a joke I'm always broke! If you don't like it Change It! Don't just take it lying down If it doesn't suit you, rearrange it Don't stand there complaining, Change It! If you don't like it, Change It! Be in charge of your own life There's no magic, nothing strange, If it's not the way you want it, Change It! If you don't like it, Change It! You can speak up, use your voice Life has lots of glasses all half empty or half full Your choice! © Copyright Bill Pere. All Rights Reserved
