CHANGE
I wish I was on Easter Island
taking pictures of the arranged stone faces
just a testament to fratricide, cannibalism, and slaves
no trees to support the earth, just death
is it all gonna change?
I wish I was in the Army, I wish I was in Brazil
I wish I was in Tibet spinning a prayer wheel
cause it's all gonna change
I wish I was in Las Vegas in a room with no view
waiting to change my fate with the money I lose
a girl with no name spins the wheel in my head
a lover's roulette wheel for money or go broke
I wish I worked in a hospital with politicians who don't care
who wake up with a cold dead stare then start their cars
and blow black smoke in the air
I wish I was riding a subway in New York City
sitting next to a man with a gun to my head
his finger shaking ready to pull the trigger
as I'm looking at Brooklyn
a rabbi walking by
I wish I could go to India to see the Taj Mahal
then I would know what love was
from the writing on the wall
