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
Oh, oh
Wake up, all the teachers
Time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen
To what you have to say
They're the ones who are comin' up
The world is in their hands
When you teach the children
Teach them the very best you can
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be (Na-na-na-na-na-na)
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, just you and me
Wake up, all the doctors
Make the old people well
They're the ones who suffer
And catch all the hell
They don't have so very long
Before their judgment day
Won't you 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
Sure that things will work out
They do it every time
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be (Na-na-na-na-na-na)
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, just you and me
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be (Na-na-na-na-na-na)
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, just you and me
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be (Na-na-na-na-na-na)
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, just you and me
We gotta change the world, change the world
Change it now, change it now
Can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
I need a little help, yeah
Oh, I need a little help
Wake up, everybody, everybody
Wake up, wake up
Come on, I said wake up, everybody, everybody
