lyrics versions 1 and 2
This world's in trouble, you know it’s true
But who has the answers to help us get through
We look to our leaders, they politely yawn
The press gives coverage and the world goes on
This song won't stop the world from going round
‘Cause a song can't stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
The radio's blasting, the music's loud
A message is given to a face in the crowd
By a prophet of music, a poet of song
The truth is spoken and the world goes on
A song can’t stop the world from goin’ round
A song won’t stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
But who has the answers to help us get through
We look to our leaders, they politely yawn
The press gives coverage and the world goes on
This song won't stop the world from going round
‘Cause a song can't stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
The radio's blasting, the music's loud
A message is given to a face in the crowd
By a prophet of music, a poet of song
The truth is spoken and the world goes on
A song can’t stop the world from goin’ round
A song won’t stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
lyrics version 3
This world's in trouble, you know it’s true
But who has the answers to help us get through
We look to our leaders, they politely yawn
The press gives coverage and the world goes on
This song won't stop the world from going round
And this song can't stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
The radio's blasting, wa-wa-wa
The music's loud, be-beoo-ba-bow-pow
A message is given to a face in the crowd, ya-ha
By a prophet of music, a poet of song
The truth is spoken and the world goes on
Alright everybody. Let's divide the room into thirteen parts and sing our little hearts out [Spoken]
A song won't stop the world
Don't even try [Spoken]
From goin’ round
This song can’t stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, ye-eh, change a heart or two-ooh-oh-oh-woh-oh
This song can't stop the world but it might stop you
Ro-hoo wo oh oh neow
But who has the answers to help us get through
We look to our leaders, they politely yawn
The press gives coverage and the world goes on
This song won't stop the world from going round
And this song can't stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, change a heart or two
No it can't stop the world, but it might stop you
The radio's blasting, wa-wa-wa
The music's loud, be-beoo-ba-bow-pow
A message is given to a face in the crowd, ya-ha
By a prophet of music, a poet of song
The truth is spoken and the world goes on
Alright everybody. Let's divide the room into thirteen parts and sing our little hearts out [Spoken]
A song won't stop the world
Don't even try [Spoken]
From goin’ round
This song can’t stop the world from being unsound
But it might change a heart, ye-eh, change a heart or two-ooh-oh-oh-woh-oh
This song can't stop the world but it might stop you
Ro-hoo wo oh oh neow
