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
There is so much hatred, war and 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 old 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't you make them happy before they pa** 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, change it, yeah
Can't do it alone, need some help y'all
Can't do it alone, can't do it alone

Wake up everybody, wake up everybody
Need a little help y'all, yes I do
Need a little help, need some help, y'all
Change the world to what it used to be
Can't do it alone, 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 now
Wake up, everybody
I'm talking 'bout, don't push up, stop pushing that dope
Don't use dope, stop using the dope, wake up, yeah

Wonder what you tell me now
Wonder what you tell me now
False preaching, yeah, yeah
False teaching, oh yeah
Wake up, y'all, come on

You preacher, stop preaching what you preach
Teach the truth, wake up, preachers
Politicians, well stop lying, stop lying

Why don't somebody help the poor people
Help the people, stay on there, baby
You business man, stop cheating, stop cheating
Stop cheating, stop cheating, stop cheating, stop cheating

Wake up, yeah, wake up, yeah
Wake up, yeah, wake up, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, it don't matter, yeah
What race, creed or color
Everybody, we need each other

Wake up everybody
Well, you see, we need
Wake up everybody, we need
Come on now, wake up, everybody, no more sleepin' in bed
No more backward thinkin', time for thinkin' ahead
Wake up, all you teachers, time to teach a new way
They're the ones who suffer each and every day

Teach the children, teach the babies
Teach the babies, teach the children
Teach the children, teach the babies
Teach the children, teach the babies
They're the ones who are coming up
They're the ones who are coming up
