We all got big plans, but nothing to do
Saturday afternoon, couch surfin the news
We get high to escape the new locals
What the TV shows aint nothing
But a heartbreak on a dead-end road
Were all tired of the shit theyre sayin
We dont understand so we keep waitin
For our moment to shine
For a chance to make it right
For a reason to try
Aint we all just tryin to mean something, mean something
Aint we all just tryin to be something to somebody else
The worlds begging for change
And we get carried away helping ourselves
But aint we all just tryin to mean something, mean something
Aint we all just tryin to be something, be something
All I want is somehow to make my folks proud
Thought itd take a few months in a ten-year town
But its hard and harder to pray and harder to say
Im sorry but Im workin and I cant talk today
Im so tired of the shit Im sayin
And I dont like it but hell I keep on waitin
For a moment to shine
To make it all alright
And make em smile
I wanna make em smile
Aint we all just tryin to mean something, mean something
Aint we all just tryin to be something to somebody else
The worlds begging for change
And we get carried away helping ourselves
Aint we all just tryin to mean something, mean something
Aint we all just tryin to be something, be something
I just wanna make them smile
Im so tired of the shit am saying
I just wanna mean something
Im so tired of the shit am saying
Aint we all just tryin to mean something, mean something
Aint we all just tryin to be something to somebody else
The worlds begging for change
And we get carried away helping ourselves helping ourselves
Aint we all just tryin to mean something, mean something oh
Aint we all just tryin to be something, be something
Aint we all just trying to mean something
Aint we all, aint we all
Aint we all just trying to mean something
