Everybody, everybody 
I want you to listen to me for a little bit right here 
I wanted you to read the newspapers this morning 

Or did you see the evening news 
As you were having dinner with your families last night? 
Well, if you did then you must know that 
This world is now in a whole lot of trouble 

But I don't want you to get discouraged by that, no 
Because I believe that there's a solution to all of this 
Deep down within my soul 
All we have to do is put are heads and hearts together 

You gotta wake up everybody and no more sleeping in bed 
And no more backward thinking, it's time for thinking, ahead 
The world's changed so very much from what it used to be 
There's so much hatred, war and poverty, oh yeah 
us
Wake up all you teachers, you better teach a new way 
Maybe then they'll listen to what you have to say 

Because they are the ones 
Who's coming up and the world is in their hands 
When you teach the children 
You better teach them the very best you can 

The world won't get no better 
If you just let it be, no no 
The world won't get no better 
You gotta change again, you and me 

Wake up all you doctors, make the old people well 
Because they're the ones who suffer a lot and catch all the hell 
They don't hassle very long before their judgment day 
Won't you make them happy before they pass away? 

Wake up all you builders, it's 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 
And surely things will work out, they do it every time 

The world won't get no better, oh no 
If we just let it be 
I said the world no no no 
We gotta change it, you will and me 

(Change) 
I want you to sing along with me 
(Change) 
Come on 

(Change, change, change, change) 
Hey, hey, hey 
(Change, change, change, change) 
That's all you gotta do 

(Change, change, change, change) 
Everybody 
(Change, change, change, change) 

No more sleeping in bed, come on 
(Come on wake up) 
We gotta change the world 
Change the world, change the world 

We gotta teach the children 
We gotta teach them well 

(We gotta change it, dear) 
Yeah we do 
(We gotta change it, dear) 
'Cause the world won't get no better 

(Till we change) 
Oh yeah 
(Till we change) 
Come on now 

Change, change, change 
Change, change, change 
Change, change, change
