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 (ooh)
The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me
Ooh
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 (ooh)
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 (ooh)
The world won't get no better, ooh baby if we just let it be (ooh)
The world won't get no better we gotta change it yeah, just you and me (ooh)
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
