Lyrics So many souls to change Del Amitri

So many souls to change


As the sun rises over Mexico
And sets on the African plains
On a tourist jet, the in-flight magazines
Sets out your rate of exchange

While the unhealed and homeless are wondering
If they will ever feel safe again
They give you drinks and show you sailors
Dancing in the warm New York rain

So many souls to change

So mother and child while travelling to Deli
Have to jump off a burning train
While the puppet rich bible class third world society
Meets to discuss it's slogan campaign

You are complicit in this conspiracy
You are unable to get free
They send the rich ones to University
And the rest get comics and TV

So many souls to change

You are shocked with shots of corpses
And seduced by scenes of greed
So your overloaded conscience
Goes out looking for some kind of relief

And the church, the government and charity
They collectively agree
You cannot simply print more money
Just to save some poor country from disease

So many souls to change

So when you die and go to heaven
Looks like there could be hell to pay
As the saints and angels ask how anyone
Could treat mortals that way

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics SO MANY SOULS TO CHANGE of DEL AMITRI is also present in the album Hatful of rain / lousy with love (1998)

Biografia

Del Amitri is a Scottish rock band formed in Glasgow in 1980. The group was founded by Justin Currie, who after playing in a school band, placed an ad in a music store to find musicians to form a new project. The initial lineup included Currie (bass and vocals), Iain Harvie (lead guitar), Bryan Tolland (guitar) and Paul Tyagi (drums). Currie and Harvie are the only members to have remained continuously throughout the band's history, also being the main songwriters. Del Amitri achieved success in the 1990s with albums like "Change the World" and "Twisted", characterized by catchy pop-rock melodies and introspective lyrics. Among their most famous songs are "Always the Last to Know", "The Rest of the Day" and "Someday Soon".
