Change

Pennies or nickels or dimes
We live in perilous times
I don't ask you to treat me nice
I'm not asking for friendly conversation
I'm not asking for paradise
All I'm asking for is change

Hate me but don't kick my shins
I'm where your kindness begins
Please folks do not spend time with me
I won't ask you to treat you like my mother
I'm not asking for sympathy
All I'm asking for is change

Hate the government, kill the mayor
It's not fair how lives evaporate
Change the system that made us what we are
I don't ask for hugs
I just need money to buy more drugs
And if you folks pay, I'll go away

People walk by me with glee
I am what they'll never be
I don't ask you to tip your hat
I don't ask you to notice what I'm wearing
I could care less for things like that
All I'm asking for is change
Change
Change
Change

Pennies
Or nickels
Or dimes
We live in perilous times
