The Staple Singers - It’s Been A Change lyrics
[The Staple Singers - It’s Been A Change lyrics]
Come on, now, let's blow this thing up
Yeah
Some are pushing hard
Some are holding back
And, oh, it's a shame
The way some people lack
President said, uh huh
We would overcome
We gotta keep pushing on now
'Til the work is done
It's been a change
It's been a change
It's been a change
This whole world has been a change (Danger)
There's one thing (Ah ha ha)
I want you to know (Yeah)
Things have been
That won't be no more (Why won't you?)
It may be late (Yeah)
And it may be soon
One of these days
There'll be a man on the moon
It's been a change
(I bet you gon' get that next week)
It's been a change
It's been a change
This whole world has been a change
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Oh, yeah
All of you young people now
We wrote a verse for you
You know
There used to be a time when I was a boy
It didn't make any difference how
Much education you had
You go to papa John, you wouldn't get it
And you know the reason why
But now, we've got an education
We can demand what we want
Isn't that right? (Yeah)
So go to school, children, not all of you can
Now who knows
It's been a change and you may be the
President of the United States one day
Listen, all of you young people
This is your verse
You young people
Stay in school
Study hard
And obey the rules
You may be young (Yes)
And you may be able
You haven't got an education
You can't get a common angle
It's been a change
It's been a change
It's been a change
This whole world, this whole world
This whole world has been a change
Yeah
Some are pushing hard
Some are holding back
And, oh, it's a shame
The way some people lack
President said, uh huh
We would overcome
We gotta keep pushing on now
'Til the work is done
It's been a change
It's been a change
It's been a change
This whole world has been a change (Danger)
There's one thing (Ah ha ha)
I want you to know (Yeah)
Things have been
That won't be no more (Why won't you?)
It may be late (Yeah)
And it may be soon
One of these days
There'll be a man on the moon
It's been a change
(I bet you gon' get that next week)
It's been a change
It's been a change
This whole world has been a change
