[Verse 1]
Read the news in the Times today
Said the world is goin' round (World is goin' round)
I don't care what somebody says
Somebody always puts 'em down (Always puts 'em down)

[Pre-Chorus]
Red or yellow, black or white?
Are you left-handed or are you right?
When you open your eyes can you see the light?
Do you wake up screamin' in the middle of the ni-i-i-i-ight

[Chorus]
Too much talk, and not enough action
Do you know anybody gettin' satisfaction?
Ev'rybody wonders 'bout the crowd reaction
And the world gets better by a very small fraction

[Verse 2]
Turn around 'til you see your face
And it won't be very long (Won't be very long)
Someone soon will be in your place
And it won't be very wrong (Won't be very wrong)

[Pre-Chorus]
Red or yellow, black or white?
Are you left-handed or are you right?
When you open your eyes can you see the light?
Do you wake up dreamin' in the middle of the ni-i-i-i-ight?
[Chorus]
Too much talk, and not enough action
Do you know anybody gettin' satisfaction?
Ev'rybody wonders 'bout the crowd reaction
And the world gets better by a very small fraction

[Bridge]
Now's our chance to change the world
Change the world with love, with love

[Chorus]
Too much talk, and not enough action
Do you know anybody gettin' satisfaction?
Ev'rybody wonders 'bout the crowd reaction
And the world gets better by a very small fraction

[Chorus]
Too much talk, and not enough action
Do you know anybody gettin' satisfaction?
Ev'rybody wonders 'bout the crowd reaction
And the world gets better by a very small fraction
