Shirley Wood gulped down her breakfast
\nShut the fridge and joined the throng
\nMargaret Beatty snatched the milk in
\nScanned the news and went along
\nAnnie Harris drew the curtains
\nScrewed her eyes up, had a peek<\/p>\n
Saw the marchers, heard their voices
\nMaking early morning noises
\nStumbled back to bed and tried to sleep<\/p>\n
Come with us, run with us
\nWe’re gonna change the world
\nYou’ll be amazed, so full of praise
\nWhen we’ve rearranged your world
\nWe’re gonna change your world<\/p>\n
Shuffling through the cold black morning
\nWent the marchers, spirits low
\nGrunting greetings, grimly pressing
\nOnto where they had to go
\nWhen the sun came up, they brightened
\nStopped to have their Thermos brew
\nAnnie Harris got up gladly
\nPondered for a little, sadly
\nThen got on with what she had to do<\/p>\n
So, come with us, run with us
\nWe’re gonna change the world
\nYou’ll be amazed, so full of praise
\nWhen we’ve rearranged your world
\nWe’re gonna change your world<\/p>\n
At their target, numbers swollen
\n‘Up the marches’, banners go
\nChanting, shouting out with leaflets
\nProtest for everyone to know
\nSit in front of all the traffic
\nHarried, busy shopping wives
\nTry to stir their ostritch notions
\nWhip them up to wild emotions
\nPut some fire into their wretched lives<\/p>\n
So, come with us, run with us
\nWe’re gonna change your world
\nYou’ll be amazed, so full of praise
\nWhen we’ve rearranged your world
\nWe’re gonna change your world<\/p>\n
Shirley Wood was dragged still sitting
\nBy a policeman from the road
\nMargaret Beatty had her face slapped
\nBy a man she tried to goad
\nAnnie Harris in the office
\nPaused in typing, thought of Don
\nGlanced again at his last letter
\nDied for others to live better
\nBrushed away a tear and carried on<\/p>\n
Come with us, run with us
\nWe’re gonna change the world
\nYou’ll be amazed, so full of praise
\nWhen we’ve rearranged your world
\nWe’re gonna change..
\nCome with us, run with us
\nWe’re gonna change your world
\nYou’ll be amazed, so full of praise
\nWhen we’ve rearranged your world
\nWe’re gonna change..
\nSo, come with us, run with us
\nWe’re gonna change your world
\nYou’ll be amazed, so full of praise
\nWhen we’ve rearranged your world<\/p>\n
