Things Are Changing Lyrics - Singles - Jay And The Americans

Girls, have you got the kind of man everyone looks up to? 

Well, if you don't, listen; I'll tell you what to do: 

Get your man, take him by the hand, and come on here to me 

I'm here to tell you about equal opportunity 

There was a time when the world was fickle 

And it may have been hard to succeed 

Well, times have changed now 

And school and training is what you really need 

It doesn't matter who you may be 

Everyone's equal with the same opportunity 

Things are changing for the better 

Things are changing for the better 

Now's the time for you to better yourself 

Life's got problems, but you can make it 

And I'm gonna tell you why 

Just like the early bird that catches the worm 

You gotta get up, go out and try 

Your race or color won't stand in your way 

Don't wait for tomorrow; today is your day 

Things are changing for the better 

Things are changing for the better 

Now's the time for you to better yourself 

Good jobs are out there, just waiting to be found 

But they won't come to you, uh uh! 

You gotta get up and look around! 

(repeat last 2 lines of verse 2, then chorus) 

(repeat and fade): 

Things are changing for the better
