I'm thirsty, God I'm thirsty from drinking what destroys me
I'm pouring poison in my cup
I'm hungry, God I'm hungry consuming what controls me
Somehow it never fills me upWe all want to find something to pass the time
But that could never be enoughEverybody says we're all so different
But everybody knows we're all the same
We're all trying to find a pill to numb the pain
Something's got to changeDo you remember when you had so much hope within you?
It lingers deep inside you still
The more of us we swallow, the more we become hollow
Until we don't know how to feelWe all want to find something to satisfy
But we could never be enoughEverybody says we're all so different
But everybody knows we're all the same
We're all trying to find a pill to numb the pain
Something's got to changeWhen everything we say and take just leads to war and hate
We only pass the blame, sedate the pain and move along
But something feels so wrong, so deep inside, so hard to hide
So desperately we try and try and come to find
That we are not what we've been looking forI can't believe I'm hearing people say that all is well
I think it's time we all admit we have no good within ourselves
'Cause we are not okay, we're not alright and we need to pray for help
Forgive us for our pride, oh God, oh God please save us from ourselves'Cause everybody says we're all so different
But everybody knows we're all the same
We're all trying to find a pill to numb the pain
Something's got to changeSo God help us
Something's got to change
Something's got to change
So God help us
Something's got to change
So God help us
