lyrics

I'm so tired of the same and I just need a break from this, 'cause
I'm so tired of the same and I just need a break from this, 'cause

This one is for the others like me
That don't appear in discussions on equality
All my brothers and sisters on ODSP
And if you get a job they take half of your salary
I'm sorry but pocket change doesn't pay the bills
It's like society doesn't think we're real
I'm just trying to be heard but I've got a weak voice
This position I'm in, know it wasn't my choice
But I wouldn't change it, because I have a chance
To change the world like very few can
To make a stand and be more than music
Point your finger at me and you might just lose it
'Cause together we can rise, apart we will fall
If you haven't been through it you know nothing at all
But you can still learn, you can still help
If we tag team, we can wear that belt

(CHORUS)
I'm tired of the same
And I'm ready for change
But if people don't listen
Then it's just the same prison, oh
Please listen
Please listen
If you rode on my wheels
You would see some things are missin'
I'm tired of the same
And I'm ready for change
But if people don't listen
Then it's just the same prison, oh
Please listen
Please listen
If you rode on my wheels
You would see some things are missin'

You're in a position of power, so do somethin'
We write these letters but they don't do nothin'
Should I be ruthless, that's not how I was raised
Nobody pays attention, but I'm never fazed
I've been diggin' deep, made a well of my soul
I can't express the things my heart already knows
Like the roads that I'm ready travel
Gotta shake off the nerves and prepare for battle
'Cause I ask myself, why can't it be me
That molds minds, and makes people see
The metal that surrounds isn't who I am
But it sure helps me see who's really a friend
Who's really a foe, who doesn't get it at all
It's about time we start a movement and take control
'Cause we can contribute, we can provide
A view that many are too scared to even find

(CHORUS)
I'm tired of the same
And I'm ready for change
But if people don't listen
Then it's just the same prison, oh
Please listen
Please listen
If you rode on my wheels
You would see some things are missin'
I'm tired of the same
And I'm ready for change
But if people don't listen
Then it's just the same prison, oh
Please listen
Please listen
If you rode on my wheels
You would see some things are missin'

I'm so tired of the same and I just need a break from this, 'cause
(I’m so tired)
I'm so tired of the same and I just need a break from this, 'cause
(I’m so tired)
I'm so tired of the same and I just need a break from this, 'cause
(I’m so tired)
I'm so tired of the same and I just need a break from this, 'cause
(I’m so tired)

It's our time to make change
To show the world that we have purpose
To show society that we have something to contribute, that we have something to give
And I'm gonna show them
Who's with me?
