Do Something

Lyrics

I woke up this morning
 Saw a world full of trouble now
 Thought, how'd we ever get so far down
 How's it ever gonna turn around
 So I turned my eyes to heaven
 I thought, God, why don't You do something?
 Well, I just couldn't bear the thought of
 People living in poverty
 Children sold into slavery
 The thought disgusted me
 So, I shot my fist at heaven
 Said, God, why don't You do something?
 He said, I did, I created you
 Now listen
 If not us, then who
 If not me and you
 Right now
 It's time for us to do something
 If not now, then when
 Will we see an end
 To all this pain
 Oh, it's not enough to do nothing
 It's time for us to do something
 Na-na, na
 Na-na, na
 Na-na, na
 Na-na, na
 I'm so tired of talking
 About how we are God's hands and feet
 But it's easier to say than to be
 Live like angels of apathy who tell ourselves
 It's alright, somebody else will do something
 
 Well, I don't know about you
 But I'm sick and tired of life with no desire
 I don't want a flame, I want a fire
 I wanna be the one who stands up and says
 I'm gonna do something
 If not us, then who
 If not me and you
 Right now
 It's time for us to do something
 Yes, it is, c'mon
 If not now, then when
 Will we see an end
 To all this pain
 It's not enough to do nothing
 It's time for us to do something
 We are the salt of the earth
 We are a city on a hill
 ♪
 We're never gonna change the world
 By standing still
 No we won't stand still
 No we won't stand still
 No we won't stand still
 If not us, then who
 If not me and you
 Right now
 It's time for us to do something
 If not now, then when
 Will we see an end
 To all this pain
 It's not enough to do nothing
 It's time for us to do something (na-na, na)
 It's time for us to do something
 ♪
 It's time for us to do something (na-na, na)
