David Gray – Engineering Change lyrics

Engineering change

I've been told that we can't
I've been told that we can't
I've been told that we can't

No use in trying
No use in trying
No use in trying

To change the world
To change the world
To change the world

But wait

This just in

Hell-bent

On B are E A K I N G

All the rules

Shattering to smithereens

Mind-warping notions

Revolutionary concepts

Yes, we are

Going to

Break all the rules

Write a new chapter

They said we couldn't do it

Whatever will be, will be

Dy'in for a F I G H T

Just watch me

They will rue the day

They ever challenged me

Apocalyptic event

Astonishing disclosure

We are

Going to

Wake'em up!

Shake'em up

Like they've never

Been S H A K en up

Before

I've been told that we can't

I've been told that we can't

I've been told that we can't

No use in trying
No use in trying
No use in trying

To change the world
To change the world
To change the world

No more kid gloves!

Dyin' for a fight

No more kid gloves

A fierce revolution

A blazing light!

No more kid gloves!

Knock'em silly

Just watch me

Pound pound pound

Have no mercy

Pound pound pound

No mercy

No mercy

No mercy

Channel all that anger

D E M A N D
D E M A N D
D E M A N D

A B are I G H T E are day

Pierce'em
Pierce'em
Pierce'em

Pierce their frozen hearts
Until they burn free

Pierce'em

Until the light breaks through

No time for hesitat'in

Demand
Demand
Demand

A brighter day

No more kid gloves!

Pound
Pound
Pound

Knock'em silly

No time for holding back

Let the flood gates out
Let the flood gates out
Let the flood gates out

No stopping

'til they scream, the bloody scream
'til they scream, the bloody scream
'til they scream, the bloody scream

Not through violence
Not through violence
Not through violence

But through long, hard thought
But through long, hard thought
But through long, hard thought

Pierce'em
Straight through to the heart
Straight through to the heart
Straight through to the heart

Time to change how we've been looking at things
Think the change will do us all
Some good

Let's join together to make a brighter day
Let's work together to find a better way

Demand a brighter day
Demand a brighter day
Demand a brighter day

Pound pound pound

Knock'em silly!

No more sugar
No more sugar
No more sugar

Tired of all the fightin'
Tired of all the discussin'
Tired of all the fightin'
Tired of all the discussin'

Straight through to the heart

Cast out
Your frozen heart

Come clean!
Come clean!
Come clean!

Admit what you've done
Admit you've made mistakes

It's our only chance for a brighter day

Straight through to the heart

Heads will lightup
Souls will break free

Work arm-in-arm to free ourselves

From the Pain

From the Agony

From the Sorrow

'til we hear the scream, the bloody scream
'til we hear them scream, the bloody scream
'til we hear the scream, the bloody scream

Speak the truth!

It's our only hope for a brighter day

I'll catch you if you Fall
Trust me
I won't let go

Boom!
