Change for Change Songtext
von Ray Davies

An angel waits for all of us
Up there in the heavens
And down here on this lonely street
Good and evil sometimes meet

Change for change sake
Change in the government
Change the environment
Change your life

Otherwise you′re gonna witness
Look on powerless
While the elements turn up the heat
When the change hit the street
While we're on the subject
Standing in the street
Hey, buddy, can you spare some change for me?


Change for the world′s sake
Transform and integrate
Adapt for the future
Change your path
Help eliminate poverty
Save humanity
So the future generations can inherit the land
While we're on the subject of our fellow man
Buddy, can you lay some change in my hand?

I don't live life, life lives me
Always has, always will be
Time to change history
Shine on through our misery
Change for change sake
Everybody fighting for the same dollar
That′s living in a free world

Change for change sake
Rearrange the landscape
Shape your identity
Change the world
Otherwise you′re gonna witness
Look on powerless
When the future generations turn
Wipe out history
While we're on the subject of man′s destiny
I want you to give your change to me


I don't live life, life lives me
Always has, always will be
Like in a ship lost at sea
Shine on through this misery
Change for change sake
For angels and demons
Billionaires and beggars
For living in a free world
