Whacha gonna do with the 36 cents
Sticky with Coke on the floorboard
When a woman on the street is huddled in the cold
On a sidewalk bench trying to keep warm
Do you call her over
Hand her the change
Ask her her story
Ask her her name
Or do you tell yourself

You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world.
You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world.

Whacha gonna do when you're watching TV
And an ad comes on yeah you know the kind
Flashing up pictures of a child in need
For a dime a day
You could save a life
Do you call the number
Reach out a hand
Or do you change the channel
Call it a scam
Do you tell yourself

You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is a lot
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world

The world's so big
It can break your heart
And you just want to help
Not sure where to start
So you close your eyes
Send up a prayer into the dark

You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world
Don't listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference
Love is a lot
Don't you listen to them when they say
You're just a fool
Just a fool to believe you can change the world.
