We're Gonna Change the World

Shirley Wood gulped down her breakfast

Shut the fridge and joined the throng

Margaret Beatty snatched the milk in

Scanned the news and went along



Annie Harris drew the curtains

Screwed her eyes up, had a peep

Saw the marchers, heard their voices

Making early morning noises

Stumbled back to bed and tried to sleep



Come with us, run with us

We're gonna change the world

You'll be amazed, so full of praise

When we've rearranged your world

We're gonna change your world



Shuffling through the cold black morning

Went the marchers, spirits low

Grunting greetings, grimly pressing

Onto where they had to go



When the sun came up, they brightened

Stopped to have their thermos brew

Annie Harris got up gladly

Pondered for a little, sadly

Then got on with what she had to do



So, come with us, run with us

We're gonna change the world

You'll be amazed, so full of praise

When we've rearranged your world

We're gonna change your world



At their target, numbers swollen

'Up the marches', banners go

Chanting, shouting out with leaflets

Protest for everyone to know



Sit in front of all the traffic

Harried, busy shopping wives

Try to stir their ostrich notions

Whip them up to wild emotions

Put some fire into their wretched lives



So, come with us, run with us

We're gonna change your world

You'll be amazed, so full of praise

When we've rearranged your world

We're gonna change your world



Shirley Wood was dragged still sitting

By a policeman from the road

Margaret Beatty had her face slapped

By a man she tried to goad



Annie Harris in the office

Paused in typing, thought of Don

Glanced again at his last letter

Died for others to live better

Brushed away a tear and carried on



Come with us, run with us

We're gonna change the world

You'll be amazed, so full of praise

When we've rearranged your world

We're gonna change... 

Come with us, run with us

We're gonna change your world

You'll be amazed, so full of praise

When we've rearranged your world

We're gonna change... 

So, come with us, run with us

We're gonna change your world

You'll be amazed, so full of praise

When we've rearranged your world

We're gonna change...
