Wake up everybody, no more sleepin' in bed |
|
No more backward thinkin' time for thinkin' ahead |
|
The world has changed so very much from what it used to be |
|
So there is so much hatred war an' poverty |
|
Wake up all the teachers, time to teach a new way |
|
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say' |
|
Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands |
|
When you teach the children, teach 'em the very best you can |
|
The world won't get no better |
|
If we just let it be |
|
The world won't get no better |
|
We gotta change it, yeah, just you and me |
|
Wake up all the doctors, make the ol' people well |
|
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell |
|
But they don't have so very long before the judgment day |
|
So won'tcha make them happy before they pass away? |
|
Wake up all the builders, time to build a new land |
|
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand |
|
The only thing we have to do is put it in our mind |
|
Surely things will work out, they do it every time |
|
The world won't get no better |
|
If we just let it be |
|
The world won't get no better |
|
We gotta change it, yeah, just you and me |
