Standing on the crossroads, world spinning round and round 
Know which way I'm going, you can't bring me down 
Don't you try and teach me no original sin 
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in 
CHORUS: 
I don't wanna 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 

Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you 
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you 
You telling all the people the original sin 
He says he knows you better than you'll ever know him 

CHORUS 

You know it ain't easy 
You know it ain't fair 
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 got news for you 
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you 
Don't you try and teach me no original sin 
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in 

CHORUS
