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      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      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      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      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      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
