lyrics
don’t sit around and complain about it
i can’t stand - waiting around to dance / uh huh
don’t wanna talk/ already know what i want
you got big plans / but you never take a chance uh huh
when will ya stop / wondering who you are …
i showed you mine / now show me yours
are you down to get serious ?
your wild life / coast to coast / make it last lets take it slow
i can’t stand / waiting around to dance uh huh /
will you stop / and look at the one you got
CHORUS
you say you want to change this world
well do you really believe in magic ?
but you can only change yourself
don’t sit around and complain about it
now youre out on your own. dont know where you belong
don’t sit around and complain about it
all your friends / they got the nicest things / uh huh
travel a lot / i dont understand their job
in suspense / slipping right through my hands / uh huh
when will you stop / wondering what they thought
i showed you mine / now show me yours /// are you down to get spiritual
flying high . but im confused / you weren’t always dripping in jewels
all of your friends / they got the nicest things uh huh
just don’t expect / them to pick up the check
CHORUS
you say you want to change this world
well you must really believe in magic
stand up and show them who you are
don’t sit around and complain about it
now youre out on your own. dont know where you belong
you say you want to change this world

"You say you want to change this world, but do you really believe in magic?".....damn

[@gingercultleader5500]

"But you can only change yourself..."

[@kalvintine]

one of my favorite quotes is ‘You may not be able to change the world, but you change the world for someone’

[@Megatron113]

I took the lyrics of this track to heart. I made a lot of positive changes for myself.

[@scaredstiff7176]

The beat in this song is really memorable. I think that really makes a good song.

[@Lucca-An-Aspiring-Poet]

so true

[@MisterDramastic]

so good BTS just stole it

[@JulieGrave-i5y]

The human condition complaining about IT.

[@ArchTail]

My song for 2020. Get it done and don't complain about it. Time to change my world.

[@ArchTail]

Well, this isn't working out the way I thought it would. Not complaining, but this is different, something new to over come. Working toward going vegan in these next couple months, already starting to get the pounds down. Stay positive folks, we can get through this.

[@michaelbelongie5984]

This song has a funk that reminds me of a classic Michael Jackson song or something from Justin Timberlake. I really like it. Good hook!

[@enbymack1846]

I was thinking Prince, the way he sings the verses. Really unexpected and funky from CWK! Love it

[@maryhughes4227]

I thought Michael Jackson too! I love it

[@jeil5676]

It kinda sounds bruno mars to me but better.

[@dakotaehl9530]

Lol i thought it was just me glad im not alone

[@hollyeverett702]

This song came at the right time. Lately, I've been feeling sorry for myself, but this song made me think twice about how I might be acting.

[@michaelbelongie5984]

Just remember, it's a conundrum for sure but when you are comlaining about the complainers, is it really still a complaint? I love my use of dramatic commas. 'If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice'. (Neal Peart, Rush)

[@Ohnoitsthatguy-620]

This song pushes my groove button and holds it down like caps lock in a heated arguement.

[@Ell_lovell]

Love the simile haha Seriously though, I agree.

[@Rosales3269]

Is it just me, or does this song sound like it would be the end credits song in a superhero/action movie?

[@timt8029]

Exactly!!!

[@dustinwilson4017]

I love a lot of their songs but always find myself thinking this sounds just like so and so mixed with these other guys... this one makes me think Black Keys and thr Prince when he starts singing... love it!!

[@PeggyONeill-iq3dc]

No I don't believe in magic but I do believe in the power of my God in heaven 🙏 🙌

[@billykelly1013]

Finally tracked down who this was. Been catching bits of this song for awhile.

[@ollysundeiy]

Me too gosh I just turned on a Cold War Kids playlist one day and heard this like OHHHH THIS IS *THAT*

[@alwaysgabriel]

Jajaja it playing now on my radio and shazam helped me find it lol!! Dope asss

[@MNhvacPRO]

Cold War Kids....most underrated band i believe... but i wont sit around and complain about it, because they make some of the best music

[@BollyBibby]

Never expected a Prince vibe from this band, but I like it!

[@phoenixfire8226]

@mikedoesseo what are you, 12? prince is one of the greatest artists of all time and cold war kids would be elated and honored to be mentioned in the same breath. also @bollybibby very much prince vibe. we play "name that tune" in our household, where we turn on the music channels on the tv, we look away from the tv and we try to name the song that's playing. i heard 2 seconds of this and said PRINCE! :) This is a great song.

[@ilovejahfirst]

@mikedoesseo shut up

[@ilovejahfirst]

Said the same thing when I heard thid for the first time

[@michaelbelongie5984]

Wow, in agreement with everyone but you 'mikedoesseo' (BTW I once did SEO). To compare Prince to any artist ever and say he deameans their music just shows your ignorance of every style, genre, or era that has ever existed. 'Did that sound bitchy?' (Heathers)

[@billykravitz4993]

been craving the Prince vibe since he moved on.. and in one day discovered Adam Lambert's SUPERPOWER and this... (ahhh!) what a good day!

[@peggyoneill6115]

I am spiritual and I don't believe in magic!!! I believe in the power of God!!! God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤

[@peterjanjanin9883]

Classified as blue eyed soul? I definitely don't get a Wayne Cochran vibe from this

[@peterjanjanin9883]

As funky as this bass line is it could definitely use some Joe Dart

[@luvtheseguys]

I can hear Prince, Michael Jackson, and George Michael influences!! All of my FAVORITES!!💗💗💗

[@aliogamhna]

This song is magic.

[@RonnyLive19881]

Best song they have put out since their Robbers and Cowards album. I have missed this band.

[@butterbeansandsprinkles3586]

It sounds really mainstream and pop though, no where near as good as Robbers & Cowards!

[@codesmith5]

This song got me hype'd on a hard monday. It's got a should bopping base beat and might be my new internal anthem when I'm trying to motivate for all the extra things I should be doing.

[@the_bigfriv9401]

My god. This one is phenomenal. The beat. So much yes

[@elizabethwhite1068]

Just saw this song performed on The Late Show with Colbert, it's fantastic! I had almost changed the channel before they played but I'm so glad I stuck around. I love this so much I had to come find it to listen again! 👏👏👏

[@covariance5446]

Not bad; this video was the next on an automatically generated playlist that I got while playing some Portugal the Man tunes. I was about to skip but I'm pleasantly surprised. The funny thing is that back in 2007, I saw these guys live (unintentionally) because they were the opening set for Muse (Aug 1st, 2007 @ Arrow Hall, "Toronto"). I was a teenager back then and it was my first live concert ever. I think my opinion towards Cold War Kids was pretty ambivalent at the time but I'm digging this tune.

[@andrewmontoya8511]

You should have used a comma rather than comma. You use a semi colon when there is a complete thought in each clause.

[@mannymo1847]

Sounds like something that'd be on FIFA. Nice and smooth.

[@Multi1628]

~ Nice beats per minute to dance at y desk - makes me think of a Kenny Loggins/Michael Jackson/Rockwell/Gnarls Barkley hybrid. Cool, and thank you for posting, now if I can just find it on a picture-jacket 7" vinyl single. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
