I Don't Want To Change The World Lyrics

Standing at the crossroads, world spinning round and round
Know which way I'm going, you can't bring me down
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in

I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me

Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
You telling all the people the original sin
He says he knows you better than you'll ever know him

I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me

You know it ain't easy
You know it ain't fair
So don't try to please me
Because I really don't care

Don't tell me stories 'cause yesterday's glories
Have gone away, so far away
I've heard it said there's a light up ahead
Lord I hope and pray I'm here to stay

Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in

I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me

I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me

I Don't Want To Change The World Song Chart

The version on his 1993 album Live And Loud won the Grammy for Best Metal Performance. He got another Grammy in 2000 when Black Sabbath won the same award for "Iron Man," from their Reunion album.

No More Tears was the first album Ozzy released after he went sober. His songs became more personal and reflective as he wrote more about his life, or at least what he could remember.

Up to this point, Ozzy's albums usually had demonic titles and artwork. This was his first with no reference to evil or insanity.

Ozzy planned to retire and spend time with his family after touring to support this album. He called it the "No More Tours" tour, but came back 2 years later with the "Retirement Sucks" tour when he got bored.
