Wake Up Everybody

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
