‘When’s it Gonna Change?’

You can change your clothing, you can change your hair,
And in case of accidents you can change your underwear.
You can change your oil, you can change your car,
You can change your vote, but it won’t get you very far

You can change your attitude, change the clothes you wear.
Make them think you’re someone else, make them stop and stare.
You can lift your face, and you can change your nose,
You can fool yourself, but still everybody knows.

When’s it gonna change?
You can change your mind
When’s it gonna change?
Only God can change your heart.

You can change your accent, you can hide your roots,
Part exchange your Wellingtons for new riding boots.
Maybe you could change your job, maybe change your train.
Maybe you should loose some weight, but maybe stay the same.

Background

A simple, blunt song but to a funky dance beat. It makes a single point “You can change your mind, but only God can change your heart”. This is also one of those Salt Solution songs where the lyric was recycled when the original music was ditched. You can hear the difference in the Downloads section below.

Movie

In a blend of two world of Martin Day real sumo wresting footage is set to music. And the music is a Salt Solution track “When’s it Gonna Change“.
