Change

pocket money, just a few dimes

loose coins that you found

maybe in your glovebox?

have you checked your wallet?

give me all it won’t be wasted

or you rather be complacent?

it will go straight into the cause

I promise, in real good hands

I can only speak the truth 

everybody says they want change

why can’t I have it too?

I know you got it you

c’mon give me some

take the weight off

I can show you how it’s done

I’m prioritizing my needs over yours,

and I want to make you feel bad.

it’s easier then it seems, I swear

try it for yourself, it’s only fair

say it to my face, if you dare

anything is welcome around here

a loonie, toonie, a cent or copper

just something that I use to order

my favourite overpriced coffee

it can be any change, whatsoever

for example 

it would be great to change the weather 

not because is raining, or because is sunny

is because

change is good for this economy.

so you don’t got nothing at all?

you gonna leave me like that?

I’m asking for change, not your life

but I guess it’s mine’s to pay the price.
