Standing at the crossroads
World spinning 'round and 'round
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 want to 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, oh oh
Tell me I'm a sinner, I've 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
I don't want to 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
So don't try and please me
Because I really don't care
'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've 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 want to 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 want to 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 (don't, don't, don't)
