Standing at the crossroads
World spinning round and round
Know which way I'm going
You can't bring me down
Don't you try to teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change me, alright
Tell me I'm a sinner
I've got news for you
I spoke to God this morning
And he don't like you
You're telling all the people the original sin
He says, he knows you better than you'll ever know him
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change me
You know it ain't easy
You know it ain't far
So don't try to please me
Because I really don't care
Don't tell me stories cause yesterday's glories
Have gone away, so far away
I've heard it said there's a light up ahead
Lord I hope and pray, I'm here to stay
Tell me I'm a sinner
I've got news for you
I spoke to God this morning
And he don't like you
Don't you try to teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want the world to change me
