[Intro/Chorus]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Change your ways

Why don't you make, hah, a resolution
Heh, for God sake, give a contribution
Huh, you're filthy rich huh, so help the world
Donate some dough to the starvin' boys and girls
They ain't eatin', we're just chillin', stop the killin'
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Change your ways
[LL Cool J]
Change your ways huh, start givin'
Huh, you're livin' like every day is thanksgivin'

[Chorus]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Change your ways
[LL Cool J]
Hey you, don't be stupid, comprehend

[Chorus]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Change your ways
[LL Cool J]
Come on, come on, let's do it, let's do it
There's just so many of us, huh
hey yo, there ain't nothin' to it
We're just too strong, can't nothin' stop the movement
Hah, party people listen - the world has room for improvement
The groove is small and I know you've
been thinkin' a lot about this jam
So take his hand and take her hand
and let's all lend a hand to our fellow man
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Change your ways
[LL Cool J]
We can do it, we can do it, we can do it
We can do it, we can do it, we can do it
We can do it, we can do it, we can do it
We can do it, we can do it, we can do it
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Change your ways
[LL Cool J]
We can do it, hah, that's right, but you gotta, gotta warn her
We gotta help the junkies tastin' their dream
fiendin' on the corner
Cause yo we got the power
And man we are the world, so what you wanna do
What you wanna do homeboys and all you fly girls?
Put your cigarette out, throw away your drink
Take a moment of silence to stop and think
Hah, we gotta change our ways huh
Or we'll never see brighter days
[Chorus]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Change your ways
[Outro: LL Cool J]
Word up, youknowhatI'msayin'?
All we gotta do is change our ways
and everything will be aight youknowhatI'msayin'?
There's so far to go youknowImean?
But we gotta keep fightin', we gotta struggle youknowhatImean?
And we stay alive, only the strong survive
So part of you can change your ways and you'll be aight
Peace from LL Cool J

You Temp Me so
You temp me so to change my ways,
like a leaf true does change color.
But also they do fall away,
so the tree can bloom another.
You temp me so to change my ways,
like a rock the flow of streams.
But without the nourishment of rain,
becomes the driest of all things.
You temp me so to change my ways,
like the circle of the wind.
Never knowing where it starts,
or where its breeze will end.
You temp me so to change my ways,
to your lover from your friend.
These are the hardest words to say,
you temp me so to change my ways.

Day In Day Out
wakes up in the morning and puts on his clothes
takes a step to the door, turns the key and he goes
takes a left at the light like he has for his whole working life
same worthless job everyday 9 to 5, with his nose to the grind just so he can survive
if you look in his eyes you can see that he's barely alive...
we swore when we were kids that one day we woud change the world,
but now wheres our ambition gone...
chorus: get up and get out, you've gotta get out of here
to save yourself you can be nowhere near,
small town is draggin us down and we're losin our mind
even at night everything is the same,
all the cool things have been done in so many ways
so as if i a daze, he drowns his mind out on too much tv
the problem he has is it's so hard to grow in a place where change is incredibly slow
if it happns at all it's too late for the problem o solve

Whats Music? !
Music can change you
Can change your ways
Can change your life.
It's a special thing
We like for more that tunes
And for more than popularity.
we love it for happiness
It does make us happy
In more than one way.
It's taste to listen to it
It's fun to listen to it
It's cool to listen to it.
You enjoy it, you love it
I enjoy it
And I also love it.
Music can change you
Change your ways
Change your life.

You
Here I am in your face
Tellin truths and not your old lies
Seems to me that you care
And I know that you're runnin out of time
See ya can't get away
I'll be here forever and again
Whisperin in your ear
Do believe cause you know you cannot win
Spent most your life pretending not to be
The one you are but who you choose to see
Learned to survive in your fictitious world
Does what they think of you determine your worth?
If special's what you feel when you're with them
Taken away you feel 'less than' again
That's right
[CHORUS: (2x)]
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta say what you mean
Tryin to please everyone
Sacrifice your own needs
Check in the mirror my friend
No lies will be told then
Pointin the finger again
You can't blame nobody but you
There's a feeling inside
No you cannot change it right away
Gotta make a try
And with time it'll start to go away
I'll be here when you need
That one to sit and cry to
Cause I'm the you you forgot
The only one you know you cannot lie to
Bitter you'll be if you don't change your ways
When you hate you you hate everyone that day
Unleash this scared child that you've grown into
You cannot run for you can't hide from you
Can't hide from you
That's right
[CHORUS (3x)]
C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C
(you can't blame nobody but)
C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C
(you can't blame nobody but you)
C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C
(you can't blame nobody)
C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C

Modern World
First performance at the catalyst club, may 1997.
We live in a modern world
With communication between boy and girl
Oh yeah
But under the stars above
We just dont recognize
The power of love is free
We gotta change
We gotta change
We gotta change how we feel
We gotta change
We gotta change
When anger has closed the door
My eyes go blind and I can see inside
I hurt you and you hurt me
Which crimes of love in the first degree
Oh yeah
We gotta change
We gotta change
We gotta change how we feel
We gotta change
We gotta change
We live in a modern world
With communication between boy and girl
Oh yeah
But when there are clouds above
We just dont recognise
The power of love is free
We gotta change
We gotta change
We gotta change how we feel
We gotta change
We gotta change

We Can Change
In my head I hear a haunting melody
It reminds me of the way things used to be
There was a time when we had everything
We gotta stop living in that dream
No nothing remains the same
We cant hold on but baby, baby
We can change
Oh - we can change anything we want to yeah
Oh - we can change the world
And make it better
But first we gotta change together now
Oh baby baby we can change
Theres a message in the falling rain outside
Theres a message in the tears falling from your eyes
I swear we dont have to hurt anymore
Throw the old ways out and close the door
No, nothing remains the same
We cant hold on but baby, baby
We can change
Baby, when youre trapped something snaps
And you start to die
Living all those years with our fears and
You wonder why

Its Too Late To Change The Time
[intro]
Too late
Too late
Too late
[verse 1]
In this automatic age
We shop through the yellow page
Gone is the corner store
There is a supermarket there for you
People give way to change
But feelings remain the same
[chorus]
And its too late, too late to change the time
Well its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind

Its a new day, a new age
A photograph just taken, is ready one minute later
Cars are bigger and better
But the manufacturers sastified never
In a world full of crime
I cant let you think thats right

And its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time
And its too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind
No, no

So you wanna be a star (so you wanna be a star)
You are who you think you are (ah think you are)
You dont have to go further
Than my loving arms
[chorus half]
And its too late, too late to change the time
But its not too late (too late) to change your mind

Are you sure you wanna go to new york city (new york city)
Where girls make it big if theyre pretty (if they pretty)
Let say you get that penthouse view
But whos gonna love you the way I do (just the way I do)

And its too late, too late to change the time, no

The Great Houdini
All dressed up
And nowhere to go
I think I'm taking this trip alone
Thirty seconds till I pass
The questions you will never ask
Your regrets will haunt you
You know I never had to
But I'm saving myself from you
And did you notice anything?
The change is me
Now it's safe to say
You will change your ways
I went to your house
But you weren't home
I'm sure you conveniently shut off your phone
I don't think that I'll ever be
The person that you want of me
When all that I can think about
It's you I have to figure out
But I'm saving myself from you
And did you notice anything
The change is me
Now it's safe to say
You will never change your ways
You would give up anything
To prove your point
There's nothing left to say
You will never change your ways
I'm saving myself from you
Yeah I'm saving myself from you
All dressed up
And nowhere to go
I think I'm taking this trip alone
Did you notice anything?
That changes me?
Now it's safe to say
You will never change your ways
You would give up anything
To prove your point
There's nothing left to say
You will never change your ways

Old Ways
Old ways, it sure is hard to change em
Come what may
Its hard to teach a dinosaur a new trick
Lately Ive been finding out
Im set in my ways
Old ways, can be your ball and chain.
Oh, Im gonna stop that grass
And give up all this drinking
Really gonna make my life last
Clean up my whole way of living
Up until the party last night
I was a different man
But old ways got their way again.
The economy was getting so bad
I had to lay myself off
Well, working was a habit I had
So I kept showin up anyway
Then one day things turned around
I got my back pay
Old ways comin through again.
I got old ways.

Genocide
Our lives run different ways
Through the rain I see you in the sun
Our star shines anyway
If you wish upon it we are one
CHORUS:
Dog eat dog
Every day
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat dog
To get by
Hope you like my genocide
I find it such a shame
Through the pain I see things as they are
We're served up on a plate
The pedestal is high enough to fall
And if in time
We can see the errors of our ways
Would anyone change it anyhow
Our time is up
CHORUS
I bet you'd only run
If you saw what goes inside our own
I bet you'd lead the way
If it were up to you to decide
But it's not

Conservative People
Conservative in their ways and in their thinking they do not embrace change in any way
They fear change as a threat to their existence as conservative through their lives they do stay
They resist change as if change is quite harmful as things were they wish them to remain
Their flawed values of rank and class distinction are things that they do fight hard to retain
Conservative people change not known to welcome on any change they like to have their say
They crave respect for their old ways of thinking whilst respect to those who want change they don't pay
No thanks to them that changes are occuring since they want to keep us tied to the past
They cannot accept that time brings with it changes that nothing as it was does seem to last,
Conservative people always in abundance their type never have been known to be rare
They live in Villages, Towns and in Cities you can meet their kind of person anywhere
To them change is something that should be resisted to the old ways with reverence they do cling
They fear change as much as they do fear the reaper as if indeed change were a dangerous thing
Suppose it takes all kinds to make up humanity and conservative people will always fight change
They look on people who to them are different as those who are untrustworthy and strange.

Man In The Middle
Rewrite of Michael Jackson's Man In The Mirror
Girl, I'm about to make a change
Through loving you in this life
It don't feel so good
But I know I gotta do it
I gotta try to make a difference
I gotta make this love affair right
As I turn up the collar on this tattered old Winter coat
This rumor about you I just heard is blowin' my mind
They're all talkin' it up in the streets
About how out of your most personal
You let other guys eat
How could I have been so blind
Trying so desperatly to pretend not to see
Your greedy needs
A lover's disregard
A broken heart shattered even more
By your too low cut tube top
Long ago now I realize
Lost the mate of my soul
Led each other on
'Cause we nowhere else to go
That's why now, babe, I just gotta let you know
I'm done being the man in the middle
I'm through asking you to change your ways
Don't know how I can make this final message any clearer
Girl, once you made my world
A better place
Now all your loves me with is a bitter taste
Took a look at myself
Fed up with you
Now I'm gonna make a change
Took a look at myself
So very unhappy
Solo in love with you
Now I gotta, just gotta make this change
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na, Nah, yeah)
Too long I've been a victim of your selfish love
It's way past time I became a man and realized
That with you I can no longer share my heart, bed or home
So much better for me, babe
Living now on my own
Alone
A flower you are
Deeply flawed
Broke my heart
Washed out my dream
Ooh babe, I gotta follow the pattern of the wind now, you see
Cause with you is not a good place to be
That's why I'm telling you to leave me
Leave me alone!
I'm done being the man in the middle (Ooh)
I'm through asking you to change your ways (Ooh)
Don't know how I can make this final message any clearer
Girl, once you made my world
A better place
Now all your loves me with is a bitter taste
Took a look at myself
Fed up with you
Now I'm gonna make a change
Took a look at myself
So very unhappy
Solo in love with you
Now I gotta, just gotta make this change
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na, Nah, yeah)
I'm done being the man in the middle (Ooh, Ooh)
I'm through asking you to change your ways (Ooh, Ooh)
Don't know how I can make this final message any clearer
Girl, once you made my world
A better place
Now all your love leaves me with is a bitter taste
Took a look at myself
Fed up with you
Now I'm gonna make a change
Took a look at myself
So very unhappy
Solo in love with you
Now I gotta, just gotta make this change
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na, Nah, yeah)
I'm done being the man in the middle
(Man in the middle-Oh yeah!)
Girl, I'm through asking you to change your ways
(You know you'll never change!)
Don't know how I can make this final message any clearer
Girl, once you made my world
A better place
Now all your love leaves me with a bitter taste
Took a look at myself
Fed up with you
Now I'm gonna make a change
(This time I'm gonna get it right, so over wasting my time)
(Cause when you closed your heart)
You shattered mine....shattered mine!
Oh girl, when you closed your heart
You left me with no choice but to quit being
That man, that man, that man, that man
Ooh, that man in the middle
(Man in the middle, oh yeah!)
That man, that man, that man
Girl, I'm so done asking you to change your ways
(Girl, we both know you're never gonna change!)
We both know I can no longer be.....that man
Don't know how to make this final message any clearer
Girl, you used to make my world a better place
Now all your love leaves me with is a bad taste
Took a look at myself
Fed up with you
Now I'm gonna make a change
Took a look at myself
So very unhappy
Solo in love with you
Now I'm gonna make a change
Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na Nah

For you
Not gonna feel so good now!
For me
It's gonna be better now!
Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah!
Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na Nah

Oh no, no, no

It's gonna feel real good!

Girl, you can just go....yourself
You ho
I'm putting a stop to it
Just go.....yourself

I'm gonna make that change today!

You know-I've just got to quit being
That man, that man
(Man in the middle)

I've got to move on!
Move on! Move on!

Crazy Cool
(peter lord / v. jeffrey smith / sandra st. victor)
Sitting, chilling, thinking about you babe
Youre like a long, cool glass of lemonade
Bitter, sweet and I want you so bad it hurts
You complete my life
And you quench my thirst, sexy
Sexy feelings just come over me
Playing with my dress like a summer breeze
Gentle as the touch of a falling leaf
You open me up to love
Now I gotta believe, gotta believe
Bridge:
Nothings too good for my baby
Anything you want be free
Its the least that I can do
What youve given me, given me
Chorus:
Cause Im cool, crazy cool
Crazy cool with you
In this groove, crazy groove
Back act a fool
Hey Im cool, crazy cool
Youre crazy cool with me
In this groove, crazy cool
Everything you need, sexy
Laying in the grass
Writing poetry
Looking up at the midnight sun
When youre making love to me
You showed me just how cool
Crazy cool can be
Now I know the meaning of ecstasy, ecstasy

Silver Heels
Written by bob welch.
She came in like a hurricane
Wearing boots and diamond rings
With a fox fur on her shoulder
She set wondering
And I could tell she was feeling abandoned
Because she flashed a look across my way
She said hop for a ride
Youll never ask me but Ill tell you anyway
She took me out on the blackboard jungle
Put me straight in a hurricane
She hypnotized my eyes with her silver heeled ways
If I could sing like paul mccartney, or get funky like etta james
Id never change, Id never change, Id never change silver heeled ways
She came in and her flags were flying
She was a sailboat of sweet perfume
And I could see that her eyes were smiling
From across the room
Well I couldnt think of conversation
I was busy looking at her furs
She said hey, youll never ask me
So I guess Ill say the word
She took me out on the blackboard jungle
Put me straight in a hurricane
She hypnotized my eyes with her silver heeled ways
If I could sing like paul mccartney, and funky like etta james
Id never change, Id never change, no Id never change silver heeled ways
(silver, silver heels) thats what I mean
(silver) whoo talking bout silver (silver heels)
(silver) alright (silver heels)
Im talkin bout silver (silver) silver heels (silver)
She took me out on the blackboard jungle
Put me straight in a hurricane
She hypnotized my eyes with her silver heeled ways
If I could sing like paul mccartney, and funky like etta james
Id never change, no Id never change her, Id never change silver heeled ways
(silver) oooh silver heels

Fear Of Change
set in your ways, no one wants.
the only thing constant is change. change is the one thing we can count on because change is inevitable. fear of change hinders us as a society.
fear of change makes us imoble and unable to accept change. progression is change.
fear change only when you stop changing. whithout change we cannot go forward.

Sonnet: God’s Love and Scriptures- Will Not Change
The world of men, women and children, change;
Their food-habits and dressing styles may change;
Their ways of talking, walking, laughing, change;
But Bible’s words are true and never change!
Man’s outlook and his sense of values change;
The weather, climate, seasons also change;
The water of rivers and seas may change,
But Scripture’s words are true and never change!
Man’s needs in life and ambitions may change
Man’s occupations, moral values, change
Man’s goals and approaches also may change,
But Holy Scripture’s words will never change.
The devils too, their tempting tactics, change;
God’s love for man is same and will not change.

Club Tropicana
Let me take you to the place
Where memberships a smiling face,
Brush shoulders with the stars.
Where strangers take you by the hand,
And welcome you to wonderland -
From beneath their panamas...
Chorus:
Club tropicana, drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine - theres enough for everyone.
All thats missing is the sea,
But dont worry, you can suntan!
Castaways and lovers meet,
Then kiss in tropicanas heat,
Watch the waves break on the bay.
Soft white sands, a blue lagoon,
Cocktail time, a summers tune,
A whole nights holiday!
Chorus
Pack your bags,
And leave tonight.
Dont take your time,
Gotta move your feet, dont you miss the flight!

I Wouldnt Change The Man He Is
(nickolas ashford/valerie simpson)
Ive got a funny kind of guy
Nobody knows him
Any better than i
Says without me
He can get along
But I know thats just a mans way
Of saying hes strong
But I wouldnt change him no
Oh I wouldnt change his funny ways
cause hes the cause of my sunny days
And though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
If I do something to please him
He never gives me credit
If I think hell bring me candy and roses
Huh, I might as well forget it
Hes the kind of a man
Who likes his privacy
And when a mood hits him
I know when to let him be
But I wouldnt change him no
I wouldnt change his funny, funny ways
cause hes the cause of my sunny days
And though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
Sometimes when he hurts me so bad
I think Ive got migraine in the head
All he has to do is touch me
Tears disappear
Ill forgive him in a minute
I have to pretend
There aint much I know
Hes the kind of a man
Who likes to run the show
But I wouldnt change him, no
I wouldnt change his funny ways
cause hes the cause of my sunny days
Though sometimes he brings me little tears
Still love the man he is
Oh I love that man
I wouldnt change his funny ways
And I wouldnt change the man he is..

Hey girls did you know that pretty boys ain't in no more
You better find you a love you can trust and respect you like his mother
Hey fellas you better find a girl who loves you more
And not just go for your flow when you look she'll be out the door

Not the type that'll change with the weather
You need the one that'll make love last forever

My man ain't all that to you
But he loves me so (hey hey)
He treats me oh so good
And I'll never let him go (oh no)
He makes me feel like a queen
No one could love me more (hey hey)
Ya'll better find your true love
And never let him go
Hey girls you better find a man who understands
All you need and all he sees is ways to make you happy
Hey fellas you better find a girl who's much more than
A skinny waste, a pretty face cause everybody's had a chance
You gotta be down for whatever
Stay close keep it tight stay together
Cheat on you play on you oh never
You need the one that'll make love last forever
They gotta love you no matter
You can stay slim or your fatter
Not the type that'll change with the weather
You need the one that'll make love last forever

These day they got it all so twisted on how love should be
Men go for looks and women want material things
What happened to true love
From the one you adore
Grab hold and never let go
(oh no) -a
