THE CHANGE

WELL, MY DOCTOR CONVINCED ME
THAT MY BODY WAS ALL WRONG,
HE SAID MY CHIN WAS TOO WEAK
AND MY NOSE TOO LONG,
AND MY SKIN TOO WHITE AND MY HANDS TOO SMALL,
AND FOR HALF A MILLION DOLLARS HE COULD FIX IT ALL.
HE SAID, "I’LL TAKE YOUR CASE THEN I'LL REBUILD YOUR FACE, AND THEN I’LL SUCK OUT YOUR WAIST,
AND GIVE YOU A TAN.
THEN YOUR FRIENDS WILL STROKE YOU,
AND YOUR BOSS PROMOTE YOU, AND YOUR WIFE WILL FINALLY LOVE HER BRAND-NEW MAN.

AND THE CHANGE IS GONNA DO YOU GOOD,
YOU'RE GONNA THANK ME WHEN YOU'VE UNDERSTOOD,
THAT IT'S SOMETIMES HARD AND IT'S SOMETIMES CRUDE,BUT THE CHANGE IS GONNA DO YOU GOOD.
OH, YEA.... OH, YEA......

WELL JESUS GOT NERVOUS
WHEN THE LOCALS GOT RESTLESS,
SO HE WENT TO HIS AGENT FOR SOME LEGAL ADVICE.
AND HIS AGENT SAID, "NOW YOU TRUST ME, JESUS,
AND WE'LL MAKE YOU A LEGEND, JUST DO THIS ONE LAST GIG AND YOU'LL BE SET FOR LIFE.
YOU'LL HAVE YOUR OWN RELIGION, AND YOUR OWN INQUISTION, THERE'LL BE CHURCHES, AND TEMPLES AND THAT HOUSE IN BEL AIRE. YOU'LL HAVE YOUR HBO SPECIAL, YOU'LL BE BIGGER THAN MOSES, OR BUDDHA, OR ELVIS, WITH YOUR VERY OWN PRAYER. YOU'LL HAVE YOUR OWN LINE OF BEACHWEAR, THERE'LL BE T-SHIRTS, AND SANDLES, WE'LL HAVE CHRISTMAS AND CANDLES, AND WE'LL ALL GET OUR SHARE. THERE’LL BE A 50-CITY TOUR WITH LIGHT SHOW AND LAZERS,
YOU'LL HANG OUT WITH THE BLAZERS, DO COCAINE WITH THE MAYOR."
 
AND THE CHANGE IS GONNA DO YOU GOOD, JESUS
YOU’RE GONNA THANK ME WHEN YOU’VE UNDERSTOOD
THAT IT’S SOMETIMES HARD
AND IT’S SOMETIMES CRUDE
BUT THE CHANGE IS GONNA DO YOU GOOD
OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH

WELL, THE MESSAGE ON MY PHONE MACHINE SAID
THE BARBEQUE’S STILL ‘ON’
WE GOT FOUR MORE YEARS
OF THESE PARTIES TIL DAWN
SO I CLEAR CUT MY BACKYARD,
DRILLED OUT AN OIL WELL,
PUT MY PARENTS IN A REST HOME
OPENED A TRUMP HOTEL,
WELL, I WAS FEELING PRETTY GOOD
ABOUT THESE CHANGES I MADE,
SO I BOUGHT MYSELF A NEW JAGUAR,
GOT A MEXICAN MAID,
AND I'VE LEARNED NOT TO WORRY
OR FEEL GUILT OR HAVE SHAME,
I JUST ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES
AND DON'T GIVE OUT MY NAME.

AND THE CHANGE IS GONNA DO ME GOOD,
I’M GONNA THANK ME WHEN I’VE UNDERSTOOD
THAT IT’S SOMETIMES HARD
AND IT’S SOMETIMES CRUDE
BUT THE CHANGE IS GONNA DO ME GOOD
OH YEAH, OH YEAH, OH YEAH, OH YEAH
