Were Gonna Change The World Composer(s): Ted Harris; Dave Matthews Performer(s): Matt Monro
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 peek Saw the marchers, heard their voices Making early morning noises Stumbled back to bed and tried to sleep
Come with us, run with us Were gonna change the world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were 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 Were gonna change the world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were 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 ostritch notions Whip them up to wild emotions Put some fire into their wretched lives
So, come with us, run with us Were gonna change your world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were 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 Were gonna change the world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were gonna change.. Come with us, run with us Were gonna change your world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world Were gonna change.. So, come with us, run with us Were gonna change your world Youll be amazed, so full of praise When weve rearranged your world
