She works real hard to try to make things right
To see if she can find a reason for what's wrong
In life she puts her thoughts into magazine form
And passes them all around her dorm
Showing me another way another way to fight

Activity Grrrl trying to change the world
She's gonna knock on your door
Activity Grrl in an uptight world
She's impossible to ignore

She spends her days involved in community things
And at night she'll go out to a club where she likes to sing
She teaches so the others will know
There's more beneath the skin that doesn't show
And she's looking at the challenge that tomorrow's bringing

Activity Grrrl trying to change the world
She's gonna knock on your door
Activity Grrl in an uptight world
She's impossible to ignore

Hopes to fix the problems that come within her space
And takes hurting people real serious you can see it on her face
She can't accept that life is unfair
She wants to think the others care
And won't go away she's gonna stay right in your face

Activity Grrrl trying to change the world
She's gonna knock on your door
Activity Grrl in an uptight world
She's impossible to ignore

Activity Grrrl trying to change the world
She's gonna knock on your door
Activity Grrl in an uptight world
She's impossible to ignore

It starts when I get close to you
I never know just what to do
So much I wanna say
But my nerves get in the way
An' I pray my fears ain't showin' thru

Insecure - it's strange when I feel it
Insecure - if I could feel I really had you for sure
I wouldn't be so insecure

I sit an' wonder what to do
Waitin' for my big time interview
As my palms start to sweat
'Bout this job I'm tryin' to get
Someone says "Hey, Jett, it's time for you"
(I bet they're right now)

Insecure - everybody feels a little
Insecure - tell ya one thing I know for sure
We're all a little insecure

You shouldn't care what people think of you
All you can do is be yourself
No matter how they see you
You really can't be somethin' else

You're not the only one that feels this way
Inside they look the same as you
When it seems never ending
Remember they're pretendin' too

Insecure - natural to feel a little
Insecure - everybody gets it an' there ain't no cure
We're all a little insecure

Insecure - natural to feel a little
Insecure - everybody gets it an' there ain't no cure
We're all a little insecure

I read the headlines an' it makes me so mad
I change the channel cause the news looks bad
A great society is breakin' down in front of me

An' our leaders seem so unaware
It's plain to see that they just don't care
We could do so much we gotta get in touch with reality - yeah

It's not so hard to see what's goin' on
But no one answers when I say

I'm wonderin' - is anyone out there?
Wonderin' - does anyone care?
I'm wonderin' - does anyone see what I see?
Or is it just me? Is it just me?

You can see it from coast to coast
An' it's the children who are sufferin' most
Some with no shoes on their feet, no good food they can eat
Where's the dignity for them?

Here in this land of opportunity
They should deserve a better break

I'm wonderin' - is anyone out there?
Wonderin' - does anyone care?
I'm wonderin' - does anyone see what I see?
Or is it just me? Is it just me?

An' now I pray for you America
Don't let the dream go and slip away

I'm wonderin' - is anyone out there?
Wonderin' - does anyone care?
I'm wonderin' - does anyone see what I see?

Things don't matter so much today
I really can't think too straight
Don't wanna make these tears go away
Cuz I believe that you could be my fate

Ya got me singin' a love song, I'm so consumed, so consumed
Thinking that you can do no wrong, I'm so consumed, so consumed

These tears are tears of happiness
I just need a little control
To hold it inside and hide my bliss
An' hope it will be enough to feed my hungry little soul, yeah

Ya got me singin' a love song, I'm so consumed, so consumed
Thinking that you can do no wrong, I'm so consumed, so consumed

Never off the phone, even when you're not home
I gotta hear your voice, I got no choice
I'm hooked in tight but I feel no fright
As we walk on slowly into the night, into the light, into ya

Ya got me singin' a love song, I'm so consumed, so consumed
Thinking that you can do no wrong, I'm so consumed, so consumed

Stay out of my sight
Spit your words right out of my mouth
Since you picked this fight
Know my life is just that it's just that mine

Oh no, not me
You think you can
You think you can
But there's no cage can fit me

You gotta problem
You gotta problem
You gotta problem
Whatcha gonna do
You gotta problem
You gotta problem
I gotta problem
And it's name is you

Ain't gonna wear your shame
Who will win this silent war
When I don't even want to play
Or know the rules to your game

Oh no not me
You think you can
You think you can
But there's no cage can fit me

You gotta problem
You gotta problem
You gotta problem
Whatcha gonna do
You gotta problem
You gotta problem
I gotta problem
And it's name is you

You gotta problem
You gotta problem
You gotta problem
Whatcha gonna do
You gotta problem
You gotta problem
I gotta problem
And it's name is you

Oh no not me
You think you can
You think you can
But there's no cage can fit me

You gotta problem
You gotta problem
You gotta problem
Whatcha gonna do
You gotta problem

I watch my generation die
I watch the heads of nations lie
I watch the homeless on the streets
I stand here helpless just
Lookin' at my feet
I watch the children run away
The bullets fly where they should play
I watch a junkie fade away
I ain't got an answer
But I sure got things to say
Hey, I gotta find a way
Cause the road is dark
Gotta light my way
Gotta fight the fear
In my heart
Oh, I pray
I live to see
A brighter day, hey hey

I watch the old folks sit alone
They talk to ghosts they used to know
Where are the wise men of the tribe
Where are the midwives and the newborn's cry, yeah

Now if I could I'd turn back time
Way back before there was corporate crime
We'd fight the wind to plant our seed
When the earth was stronger than human greed
Hey, hey, I gotta find a way
Cause night is dark
Gotta light my way
Gotta fight the fear
In my heart
Oh I pray
I live to see
A brighter day...hey, hey

I'm not tryin' to tell ya
What's right or wrong
I'm not trying to be clever
You gotta hope things get better
Even when they never...hey, hey, hey

Hey hey, I gotta find a way
Cause road is dark
Gotta light my way
Gotta fight the fear
In my heart
Oh, I pray
I live to see
A brighter day...hey, hey

How did we get to this place?
I thought that we would have settled this by now
I thought that blood was thicker than mud
I guess I was wrong

If love was a ship sailing oceans deep
Then your ship's sinkin' cuz it sprung a leak
You'll learn the truth but it may take a while
Because you're livin' in a world of denial

All we have is our family an' our friends
Why let this thing come to a painful end?
I thought that we'd embrace
Instead we pull away
I guess I was wrong

If love was a ship sailing oceans deep
Then your ship's sinkin' cuz it sprung a leak
You'll learn the truth but it may take a while
Because you're livin' in a world of denial

Go on - keep on playin' dirty
Go on - keep on breaking all the rules
Go on - keep doin' what your doin'
You're gonna look good on the front page news

If love was a ship sailing oceans deep
Then your ship's sinkin' cuz it sprung a leak
You'll learn the truth but it may take a while
Because you're livin' in a world of denial

You got control so you just don't care
But it won't be me who'll go runnin' scared
You'll learn the truth but it may take a while
Cause you're just livin' in a world of denial

I sense a bad vibe
It's comin' from all sides
Hard to keep my head clear
This trip's a sad ride

Too much distraction
A negative reaction
Ain't gonna stay here
I don't need this action

I try to understand
What's goin' on, what's goin' on
It's all around me
Am I the only one?

Hostility
All this crap is killin' me
What's with this Hostility
All this crap is killin' me

Everybody's lyin'
Attitudes are flyin'
But I'm not even tryin'
I'm workin' at survivin'

I try to understand
What's goin' on, what's goin' on
It's all around me
Am I the only one?

Hostility
All this crap is killin' me
What's with this Hostility
All this crap is killin' me

I sense a bad vibe
It's comin' from all sides
Hard to keep my head clear
This trip's a sad ride

Hostility
All this crap is killin' me
What's with this Hostility
All this crap is killin' me

I was caught so unaware
When you made other plans
Promises you swore to keep
Were more than you could stand

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

I can't stand to hear your name
'Cause you were so unkind
And though you think you made out well
Someday you will find

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

Shame on you, I gave you love
I gave you love so true
But you ran away
So you just don't know what cha' blew
Yeah, yeah

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

I was weak when you were there
And I felt so protected
But I'll make sure that you regret
The one that you rejected

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
You don't know what you've got
Till it's gone

Yeah

I wanna life without the blues
I wanna go an' see the O's never lose
I wanna house sittin' on the beach
But of all the things that I can't reach

I want you like I never wanted anythin' else before
I want you like I never wanted anythin' else before

Yeah

I wanna know the movie stars
An' be a VIP when I cruise the bars
I wanna spend a ton of cash
I want a fancy car an' I wanna go fast

I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you
I'm gonna get ya

Yeah

I wanna run I wanna fly
I wanna take a trip on a natural high
I wanna go
Where I'm not allowed
I wanna be with you and I will somehow

I want you like I never wanted anythin' else before
I want you like I never wanted anythin' else before

I want you like I never wanted anythin' else before
I want you like I never wanted anythin' else before

Yeah
