Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - Wake Up Everybody 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 an' 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 pa** 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 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 Change it yeah, change it yeah, just you and me Change it yeah, change it yeah Can't do it alone, need some help y'all Can't do it alone Can't do it alone yeah, yeah Wake up everybody, wake up everybody Need a little help y'all Need a little help Need some help y'all Change the world What it used to be Can't do it alone, need some help Wake up everybody Get up , get up, get up, get up Wake up, come on, come on Wake up everybody
