Shirley Wood gulped
down her breakfast
Shut the fridge and
joined the throng
Margaret Batey
snatched the milk in
Scanned the news
and went along
Annie Harris drew
the curtains, screwed
her eyes up,
had a peep
Saw the marchers,
heard their voices
making early
morning noises
Stumbled back
to bed and
tried to sleep
Come with us,
run with us
We're gonna
change the world
You'll be amazed,
so full of praise
When we've
rearranged your world
We're gonna
change your world
Shuffling through
the cold
black morning
Went the marchers,
spirits low
Grunting greetings,
grimly pressing
on to where
they had to go
When the sun
came up
they brightened
Stopped to have
their Thermos brew
Annie Harris
got up gladly
Pondered for
a little, sadly
Then got on with
what she
had to do
So come with us,
run with us
We're gonna
change the world
You'll be amazed,
so full of praise
When we've
rearranged your world
We're gonna
change your world
At their target,
numbers swollen
Up the marcher's
banners go
Chanting, shouting,
out with leaflets
Protest for
everyone to know
Sit in front of
all the traffic
Harry busy
shopping wives
Try to stir their
ostrich notions,
whip them up
to wild emotions
Put some fire into
their wretched lives
So come with us,
run with us
We're gonna
change the world
You'll be amazed,
so full of praise
When we've
rearranged your world
We're gonna
change your world
Shirley Wood was
dragged still sitting
by a policeman
from the road
Margaret Batey
had her face
slapped by a man
she tried to goad
Annie Harris in
the office
paused in typing,
thought of Don
Glanced again
at his last letter
Died for others
to live better
Brushed away
a tear and
carried on
So come with us,
run with us
We're gonna
change the world
You'll be amazed,
so full of praise
When we've
rearranged your world
We're gonna
change
So come with us,
run with us
We're gonna
change the world
You'll be amazed,
so full of praise
When we've
rearranged your world
We're gonna
change your
Come with us,
run with us
We're gonna
change the world
