Jay And The Americans Things Are Changing Lyrics

Things Are Changing Lyrics

Girls, have you got the kind of man everyone looks up to?
Well, if you don't,
listen; I'll tell you what to do:
Get your man, take him by the hand, and
come on here to me
I'm here to tell you about equal opportunity

There
was a time when the world was fickle
And it may have been hard to
succeed
Well, times have changed now
And school and training is what you
really need
It doesn't matter who you may be
Everyone's equal with the
same opportunity

CHORUS:
Things are changing for the better
Things
are changing for the better
Now's the time for you to better
yourself

Life's got problems, but you can make it
And I'm gonna tell
you why
Just like the early bird that catches the worm
You gotta get up,
go out and try
Your race or color won't stand in your way
Don't wait for
tomorrow; today is your day

(chorus)

Good jobs are out there,
just waiting to be found
But they won't come to you, uh uh!
You gotta get
up and look around!

(repeat last 2 lines of verse 2, then
chorus)

(repeat and fade):
Things are changing for the better
