Lyrics

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 Judgement 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 (yeah, yeah)
 ♪
 Change it, yeah (change it, yeah) just you and me
 Change it, yeah (change it, yeah) can't do it alone
 Need some help, y'all (y'all)
 Can't do it alone (can't do it alone)
 Yeah (yeah)
 Wake up, everybody
 Wake up, everybody
 Need a little help, y'all (yes I do)
 Need a little help (say it, boy)
 Need some help, y'all (uh-huh)
 To change the world
 From what it used to be
 Can't do it alone
 Can't do it alone
 Need some help, yeah
 Need some help, yeah
 Wake up, everybody
 Get up, get up
 Get up, get up
 Wake up, come on, come on
 Wake up, everybody
 Teach a new way
 Maybe then they'll listen
 To what you have to say
 Wake up, everybody
 No more sleepin' in bed
 No more backward thinkin'
 Time for thinkin' ahead
 Come on
