Lyrics
Wake up, everybody, no more sleeping in bed
No more backward thinking, time for thinking ahead
The world has changed so very much from what it used to be
There's so much hatred, war and poverty, whoa-oh
Wake up, all you teachers, time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to what you have to say
They're the ones who's coming up, the world is in their hands
When you teach the children, teach them the very best you can
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
The world won't get no better
We gotta change the world, just you and me, yeah
Wake up, all you doctors, make the old people well
They're the ones who suffer and catch all the hell
They don't have so very long before the Judgment Day
Won't you make them happy before they pass away?
Wake up, all you builders, time to build a new land
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
Only thing we have to do is put it in our minds
Surely things will work out, they do it every time
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
The world won't get no better
We gotta change the world, just you and me, yeah
Can't do it alone, I need some help, y'all
Can't do it alone, no
Wake up, everybody
Wake up, get up, everybody
Wake up, get up, everybody
Yeah, wake up, get up, everybody
I'm talking about you, don't push, y'all
(Wake up, everybody)
Stop pushing the do'
(Wake up, everybody)
Don't use us, uh, just stop using the do'
(Wake up, everybody)
Yeah
(Wake up, everybody)
Get up
(Wake up, everybody)
Get up
