Wake Up Everybody

Wake Up Everybody by Harold Melvin performed by Teddy Pendergrass

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.

Chorus
The world won't get no better ]
if we just let it be [no, no, no, nah nah nah
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 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.
Repeat Chorus

Wake Up EVERYBODY written by John Whitehead and made popular by Teddy Pendergrass has
been updated with an upbeat sound of today. It's time for a Wake-Up Call. "Wake Up Everybody" sounds the alarm. "The world won't get no better if we just let it be . . . got to change it now, just you and me."
