Pennies or nickels or dimes,
We live in perilous times.
I don't ask you to treat me nice.
I'm not askin' for pleasant conversation.
I'm not askin' for paradise.
All I'm askin' 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 don't ask to treat me like your mother.
I'm not askin' for sympathy.
All I'm askin' for is change!

Change 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,
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 that you 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!
