Lyrics Wake Up Everybody - From “Black History Always / Music For the Movement Vol. 2" - Tobe Nwigwe

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 (teach a new way)
Maybe then they'll listen to whatcha have to say (whatcha have to say)
Cause they're the ones who's coming up and the world is in their hands
So 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
For you and me
For you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Wake up all you doctors make the ol' people well (ol' people well)
They're the ones who suffer an' who catch all the hell (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 you builders time to build a new land (build a new land)
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand (all lend a hand)
The only thing that we have to do is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out they do it every time (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
For you and me
For you and me
For you and me
For you and me
Yeah

The world won't get no better
The world won't get no better
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah
For you and me
Yeah

The world won't get no better
The world won't get no better
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah
Just you and me
Just you and me
You and me
