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
Change it, yeah
Change it, yeah, just you and me
Change it, yeah
Can't do it alone
Need some help
Can't do it alone
Wake up everybody
