"Wake Up Everybody" lyrics - HAROLD MELVIN AND THE BLUE NOTES

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 old' people well
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell
But they don't have so very long before the Judgement Day
So won'tcha 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
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
