Standing at the crossroads, world spinning round and round
Know which way I'm going, you can't bring me down
Don't you try and teach me, no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape that I'm in
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want to world to change me, oh no
Tell me, I'm a sinner, I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
For telling all the people the original sin
He says, he knows you better than you'll ever know him
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want to world to change me
You know it ain't easy, you know it ain't fair
So don't try to please me because I really don't care
Don't tell me stories 'cause yesterday's glories
Have gone away, so far away
I've heard it said, there's a light up ahead
Lord, I hope and pray, I'm here to stay, yeah
Tell me, I'm a sinner, I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
Don't you try and teach me, no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape that I'm in
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change me, no, no, no
