I Don’t Want to Change the World [Live at Budokan]

[Verse 1]
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 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 to world to change me

[Verse 2]
Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and He don't like you
For telling all the people the original sin
He says he knows you better than you'll ever know him

[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 to world to change me

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

[Verse 3]
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]
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 to world to change me

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 to world to change me
