Текст песни: Wake Up Everybody + перевод

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, whoa, oh

Wake up, all the teachers

Time to teach a new way

Maybe then they’ll listen

To what’cha 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 best way you can

The world won’t get no better

If we just let it be, na, na, na

The world won’t get no better

(We gotta change it, yeah

Just you and me)

Wake up everybody

And look at the storm comin'

Blood in the streets

And the tears in my eyes runnin'

Recognize who I am

Release 'em out the can

Never was an animal or three fourths of a man

They set this up for peacefully

Wasn’t in God’s plan

If we all created equally

Why these officers beatin' me?

Divided as a people

Then all we need is some unity

A unified front and then we build our community

Put our pennies together

And put an end to poverty

And violence is not the answer

War’s worser than cancer

But peace can never come

With frustration and anger

A nation that’s divided

Well that’s a nation in danger

The world won’t get no better

If we just let it be, na, na, na

The world won’t get no better

We gotta change it, yeah

Just you and me
