Do you really want it?

We say give me a high oh God give me a feeling
('Cause I've lost my reason)
We say give me a push, a push through this
(Concrete ceiling)
We say give me a sign that proves what I believe in
(A psychic reading)
So I can shake these American demons
Ohh, gimme, gimme, gimme

Everybody wants to change the world
But one thing's clear
No one ever wants to change themselves
(That's the way things are)
All because we hate the buzzkill
Jaded when we need to feel
But we can change it all
If you really want it

Do you really want it?
Do you really want it?

You gotta bite the bullet till your gums are bleeding
(Grab the mic and scream it)
You gotta dig up the past to get past this
(Anxious feeling)
You gotta get ripped apart to see why you're breathing
(To find your reason)
So I can shake these American demons
Ohh, gimme, gimme, gimme

Everybody wants to change the world
But one thing's clear
No one ever wants to change themselves
(That's the way things are)
All because we hate the buzzkill
Jaded when we need to feel
But we can change it all
(If you really want it)
But we can change it all

Do you really want it?
Do you, do you?
Do you really want it?
Do you, do you?
Ohh, so I can shake these American demons
Screaming, screaming, screaming

Everybody wants to change the world
But one thing's clear
No one ever wants to change themselves
(That's the way things are)
All because we hate the buzzkill
Jaded when we need to feel
But we can change it all
(We can change it all)
We can change it all
If you really want it

We can change it all
Ya, we can change it all
If you really want it
We can change it all
We can change it all

Everybody wants to change the world
(We can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves
(We can change it all)
Everybody wants to change the world
(We can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves
(We can change it all)
Everybody wants to change the world
(We can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves
(We can change it all)
Everybody wants to change the world
(We can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves
