I thought, “God, why don’t You do some thing?” Well, I just could n’t bear the thought of peo ple liv ing in pov er ty and chil dren sold in to slav er y. The thought dis gust ed me, so I shook my fist at heav en. I said, “God, why don’t You do some thing?” He said, “I (F#m7)did.” Yeah. “I cre at ed (E)you.” (E)If not us, then who, if not me and you right (A)now? Well, it’s time for us to do some thing, yeah. If not now, then when will we see an end to all this (A)pain? Oh, it’s not e nough to do noth ing. It’s time for us to do some thing. (Na na na, na, na, na, na. na. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.)

But we’re nev er gon na change the world by stand ing (B)still. No, we won’t stand still. No, we won’t stand still. No, we won’t stand still, no. (E)If not us, then who, if not me and you right (A)now? It’s time for us to do some thing, If not now, then when will we see an end to all this (A)pain? Well, it’s not e nough to do noth ing. It’s time for us to do some thing. (Na, na, na, na.) It’s time for us to do some thing. (Na, na, na, na.) Ooh. (Na, na, na, na.) It’s time for us to do some thing. (Na, na, na, na.)
