Mean Something

(album: If It Wasn't For You - 2020)

We all got big plans but nothing to do
Saturday afternoon couch surfing the news
We get high to escape the new locals
What the tv shows ain't nothing
But a heartbreak on a dead-end road
We're all tired of the shit they're saying
We don't understand so we keep waiting
For our moment to shine
For a chance to make it right
For a reason to try

Ain't we all just trying to mean something, mean something
Ain't we all just trying to be something to somebody else
The world's begging for change
And we get carried away helping ourselves
Ain't we all just trying to mean something, mean something
Ain't we all just trying to be something, be something

All I want is somehow to make my folks proud
Thought it'd take a few months in a ten-year town
But it's hard and harder to pray and harder to say
I'm sorry but I'm working and I can't talk today
I'm so tired of the shit I'm saying
I don't like it but hell I keep on waiting
For a moment to shine
To make it all alright
To make 'em smile
I just wanna make 'em smile

Ain't we all just trying to mean something, mean something
Ain't we all just trying to be something to somebody else
The world's begging for change
And we get carried away helping ourselves
Ain't we all just trying to mean something, mean something
Ain't we all just trying to be something, be something

I just wanna make them smile
I'm so tired of the shit I'm saying
I just wanna mean something

Ain't we all just trying to mean something, mean something
Ain't we all just trying to be something to somebody else
The world's begging for change
And we get carried away helping ourselves
Ain't we all just trying to mean something, mean something
Ain't we all just trying to be something, be something

Ain't we all just trying to mean something
Ain't we all just trying to mean something
