So Many Souls To Change Lyrics - The B-sides: Lousy With Love - Del Amitri

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
