Hi,

I found this phrase in a lyrics written by a band. But, I don't understand the meaning of it.

"Busking for change and changing everything
Feeble fables aren't changing many things"

By the way, what does the phrase "feeble fables" means?

Anyone care to explain, please. ;)

Thanks.

Busking for change = singing or playing music on the streets hoping that passers by will give you some change.

Feeble fables = weak stories

If there is a more specific meaning it cannot be worked out from this extract - however, in song lyrics, sometimes the form of the words is more important than the meaning of the words.
