There's one thing I've got to say
There's got to be some changes made
No more black or white
No more left or right
I'm gonna change the world, baby
I'm gonna change the world, yeah!
I'll switch her wrong to right
You can bet your life, baby, bet your life

Hold your fire and listen mister
Don't cause no trouble for my brother and sister
Why don't you look me in the face
Either that or leave my place
I'm gonna change the world, baby
I'm gonna change the world, waah yeah!
I'll switch wrong to right
You can bet your life, baby!
Bet your life, my life yeah!

Forget about what your folks told you
Make up your mind just what you wanna do
Just accept people for what they are
Or this old world won't get very far
I'm gonna change the world, baby
I'm gonna change the world, oh yeah!
I'll switch her wrong to right
You can bet your life, bet your life!
You can bet your life
Just put your money
Where your mouth is, baby
There's gotta be some changes made
I'm gonna change this world
I'm gonna change this world, waah yeah
