Wake Up Everybody Songtext
von The Temptations

Oh, yeah yeah
Yeah
C′mon
Wake up everybody

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 (teach a new way)
Maybe then they'll listen to what I have to say (what you have o say)
They′re the one who comin′ up, the world is in their hands
When you teach the children teach the 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 (wake up) make the old people well
They're the one who suffer and who catch all the hell
They don′t have so very long before the Judgment Day (But they don't have so very long before the Judgment Day)
So won′t you make them happy before they pass away

Wake up all the builders, time to build a new land (wake up)
I know we can do it if we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our minds
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, just you and me

Everybody, c′mon wake up
(You′ve got to wake up everybody)
C'mon and wake up (You′ve got to wake up everybody)
C'mon (Wake up everybody) we can do it
If we come together (Wake up everybody) everybody
(Wake up everybody) We′ve got to wake up
Everybody wake up (Wake up everybody)


All the parents, we have made this raising day next today
We won't change (Wake up, teach the children)
(So wake up everybody) It got to start in our homes today
(We′ve got to teach the children) We can't just let them run
(So wake up everybody) And do whatever, anything, if want to
(Wake up) All the teachers, c'mon now and
(Wake up) Where are all the doctors? C′mon and
(Wake up) All the preachers, c′mon and
(Wake up) Where the Lord is this evening, c'mon
(Wake up everybody) We can do it if we stand together
(Wake up everybody) Wake up everybody
All the builders, build a new man
(Wake up everybody) It′s about our childrens
The young motheres comin' up avenge it
(Wake up everybody)
