"Wake Up Everybody" lyrics
Yeah, mmm
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
Oh, oh, woah
Wake up all the teachers, time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to what you have to say
'Cause they're the ones who are comin' up, the world is in their hands
When you teach the children, teach the very best you can
Oh, oh, woah, yeah
The world won't get no better (No)
If we just let it be, oh, oh
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah
Just you and me (Just you and me)
You and me (You and me, yeah)
Wake up all the doctors, make the old people well
They're the ones who suffer and who catch all the hell
They don't have so very long before their judgment day
So won't you make them happy before they pass away?
Well
Ooh, wake up all the builders, time to build a new land
I know that we can do it if we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our minds
Surely things will work out, they do it every time
Oh, woah
The world won't get no better (No)
If we just let it be, oh, oh
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah (Change it, yeah)
You and me (We gotta change)
Just you and me
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
Ooh, wake up all the builders, time to build a new land
I know that we can do it if we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our minds
Things are gonna work out, they do it every time
'Cause I know this world
The world won't get no better (No)
If we just let it be, oh, oh
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah
Just you and me (You and me)
You and me, yeah
Uh, come on
Yeah, huh, woo
Sing, y'all
