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 ol' 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'tcha make them happy
Before they pass away
Oh, 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 to 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
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah, just you and me
Just you and me
You and me, oh
Ooh, 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, sing with me yeah
The world won't get no better
Ooh baby if we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah, just you and me
Just you and me
Just you and me
Change it yeah
Oh, gotta change it, yeah
Just you and me
Just you and me
Just you and me, yeah
