[Intro]
Dooba-dooba-dooba-dooba-deng
Righteousness shall prevail (Yeah)
[Verse 1]
This is a very malicious world
Some people just grudge you for your righteous words
And if you try to show some affection
They'll try to strip you down to the bone
They don't set no example
[Chorus]
Some people must change dem livin'
Dooma-dibba-dooba-dibba-deng
Some people must change dem livin'
Some people must change dem livin'
Dooma-dibba-dooba-dibba-deng
Some people must change dem livin'
[Verse 2]
Nowadays when you're walking down the road
You must see some fellows hangin' around
Always-always begging you a money
They fight against you if you turn dem down
An' dem don't have no principle
[Chorus]
Some people must change dem livin'
Dooma-dibba-dooba-dibba-deng
Some people must change dem livin'
Some people must change dem livin'
Dooma-dibba-dooba-dibba-deng
Some people must change dem livin'
[Verse 3]
And if you try to help some people
You bet they'll try to tear you down
Some of dem don't like to see you progress
Dem prefer to see you in distress
It's just the way of the system
[Chorus]
Some people must change dem livin'
Dooma-ding-dooma-ding-deng
Some people must change dem livin'
Some people must change dem livin'
Dooba-dibba-dooba-dibba-deng
Some people must change dem livin'
[Verse 4]
This is a very malicious world
Some people just grudge you for your righteous words
And if you try to show some affection
They'll try to strip you down to the bone
They don't set no example
[Outro]
Some people must change dem livin'
Dooma-dibba-dooba-dibba-deng
