Teachers

Wake up all the teachers
Time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen
To whatcha have to say
'Cause they're the ones who's comin' up
And the world is in their hands
When you teach the children
Teach 'em the very best you can

Builders

Wake up all the builders
Time to build a new land
I know we can do it
If we all lend a hand
The only thing we have to do
Is put it in our minds
Surely things will work out
They do it every time
