WAKE UP EVERYBODY

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 is so much hatred
War and poverty

Wake up, all you teachers
Time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen
To what you have to say
'Cause they're the ones who's coming up
And the world is in their hands
So when you teach the children
Teach 'em the very best you can

The world won't get no better
If you just let it be, na, na, na, na, na, na
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah
For you and me
For you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Wake up, all the doctors
Make the old people well
They're the ones who suffer
And catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long
Before their Judgment Day
So won't'cha 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
The only thing we have to do
Is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out
They do it everytime

The world won't get no better
If you just let it be, na, na, na, na, na, na
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah
For you and me
For you and me
For you and me
For you and me

The world won't get no better
The hood won't get no better
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah
For you and me
