"Change" is a song by English post-punk band Killing Joke that appeared on the US release of their 1980 self-titled debut album. The song bears a resemblance to the War song "Me and Baby Brother", which Killing Joke have acknowledged.[1][2] DFA Records cofounder Tim Goldsworthy stated that the song was the key inspiration to the composition of his record label artist James Murphy on LCD Soundsystem's debut single "Losing My Edge".[3]
