Violent Femmes - I Swear It (I Can Change)
South Park (Related Recordings) · South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut [1999]
Some people say that I'm a bad guy
They may be right,
They may be wrong
But it's not as if I don't try,
I just mess up
And I go wrong
But I can change, I can change,
I can learn to keep my promises I swear it
Open up my heart and I will tear it
Any minute now I swear I'll share it
Oh it's strange, yes it's strange,
Though I guess it's quite clear,
I killed the antelope, the deer,
And there's no home on my range
Yes, I'm a little dearranged
But I can change.
It's not my fault that I'm so evil
It's society, sobriety
You know my momma picked cotton
And my daddy Boll Weevil
It was history, it wasn't me
But I can change, I can change,
I can learn to keep my promises I know it
Open up my heart and I will show it
Any minute passed 'til I outgrow it
You'll never change
You'll never change
You'll always be a dog with me
Yes, but don't be such a boob,
Manna from heaven shall be my food
My acts of past were misconstrued
And God above will watch me change
And while I'm changing, I'll be changing, while I CHANGE!
Soon...
But I can change, I can change
I can learn to keep my promises I swear it
Open up my heart and I will tear it
Any minute now I swear I'll share it,
I'm gonna change
They may be right,
They may be wrong
But it's not as if I don't try,
I just mess up
And I go wrong
But I can change, I can change,
I can learn to keep my promises I swear it
Open up my heart and I will tear it
Any minute now I swear I'll share it
Oh it's strange, yes it's strange,
Though I guess it's quite clear,
I killed the antelope, the deer,
And there's no home on my range
Yes, I'm a little dearranged
But I can change.
It's not my fault that I'm so evil
It's society, sobriety
You know my momma picked cotton
And my daddy Boll Weevil
It was history, it wasn't me
But I can change, I can change,
I can learn to keep my promises I know it
Open up my heart and I will show it
Any minute passed 'til I outgrow it
You'll never change
You'll never change
You'll always be a dog with me
Yes, but don't be such a boob,
Manna from heaven shall be my food
My acts of past were misconstrued
And God above will watch me change
And while I'm changing, I'll be changing, while I CHANGE!
Soon...
But I can change, I can change
I can learn to keep my promises I swear it
Open up my heart and I will tear it
Any minute now I swear I'll share it,
I'm gonna change
Violent Femmes - I Swear It (I Can Change)
This recording features the Violent Femmes, an American rock band known for their distinctive jangle-pop sound and the enigmatic persona of lead singer Richard Hell. The track appears on the South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut soundtrack, a compilation that includes various musical contributions from the show's characters and creators. While the song carries the signature melodic style of the Violent Femmes, its inclusion here reflects the eclectic and often irreverent musical approach of the South Park franchise. The recording serves as a bridge between classic indie rock and the animated series' unique blend of pop culture references and musical parody.
