Lyrics Ray Davies – Change For Change

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

And 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

And 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

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 and wipe out history

And 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 a ship lost at sea
Shine on through this misery

Change for change sake
For angels and demons
Billionaires and beggars
Are living in the free world
