作曲：Victor Carstarphen/John Whitehead/Gene McFadden

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' whoa' oh

Wake up' all the teachers

Time to teach a new way

Maybe then they'll listen

To what'cha have to say

'Cause they're the ones who's coming up

But 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' na' na' na

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

And who catch all the hell

But they don't have so very long

Before the Judgment Day

So wont'cha 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

Cause they do it every time

The world won't get no better

If we just let it be' na' na' na

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

Do it along do it along

Need some help

Can do it along can do it along

Yeah yeah

Wake up

Everybody

Wake up' everybody
