Let's Try Again to Change the World
The Rebels Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No more lies, no more pain
We need to love much more than hate
This world is dying day to day
What can you do to save this place?

Although we feel, there is no way
We'll keep on fighting everyday
People want to make a change

So we all have to try again and again...

Hello!

Lazy boy, Lazy gal
Get up from your Velcro chair
Before we see that it's too late
Can we all collaborate?

I'm gonna make a little change
I'm sure we all can do the same

This world can be a better place
But we all have to try again and again...
