Y13W17 Change, Change, Change the World

When you’re young
Built to have fun
Born on the run
Tomorrow looks a lot like yesterday
When you’re green
Only a teen
New on the scene
Tomorrow looks a lot like yesterday
Chorus
Tomorrow looks a lot like yesterday
Tomorrow looks a lot like yesterday
But today you can change, change, change the world
When you’re tired
Your gun’s misfired
Your good name mired
Tomorrow looks a lot like yesterday
When you’re jaded
You stand unaided
Your flaws paraded
Tomorrow looks a lot like yesterday
chorus
instrumental
chorus
When you’re old
Not built for the cold
With no one to hold
Tomorrow looks a lot like yesterday
When you’re gray
Feet made of clay
And you don’t pray
Tomorrow looks a lot like yesterday
chorus
The chorus doesn't seem to fit with the verses. If the singer is telling both the young person and the older person that they can change the world, why would they believe that?

Hi Renee,
If the singer is telling both the young person and the older person
You're right there. I was aiming for young (v1-2), middle (V3-4) and old(5-6).
The basic idea being your circumstances don't have to determine who you are or limit what you can do.
I've been reading a Woody Guthrie songbook. On the back cover, there is a quote from Bono that inspired the idea.
"There's a lie that's very popular right now, which is that you can't make a difference. It puts people in a big sleep. I think Woody Guthrie's music was much more awake than that" -Bono
why would they believe that?
I guess the short answer is, they don't have to believe that.
Thanks for the listen and feedback :D
James
