lyrics
MAKE ME A COIN
Don’t ever put my face on US currency
that spot’s reserved for hypocrites and thieves.
Make me a coin that says, Death awaits thee!
Pennies from heaven turn to autumn leaves.
Make me a coin that says quite honestly,
I’m worthless you see, from sea to shining sea
I doubt we will survive the century
now that there is a fact I’d pay to see
Make a coin that says things don’t look good now
extinction or collapse that’s all we got
Sorry for the mess we made of your town
just the way Americans are taught
Make a coin that says don’t ring my doorbell
I am bathing go to hell.
Come back never. My time is filled.
Make a coin that says fuckheads you’re free
why do you receive this as defeat?
Make a coin this all belongs to China
make a coin good luck not getting hurt
Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah
some immigrant who’s doing all the work
Make a coin that tells the truth for once sir
instead of how grand things once were back when war was pure
Make me a coin we have no answer.
The one thing known for sure is we want more.
We all want more.
Don’t ever put my face on US currency
that spot’s reserved for hypocrites and thieves.
Make me a coin that says, Death awaits thee!
Pennies from heaven turn to autumn leaves.
Make me a coin that says quite honestly,
I’m worthless you see, from sea to shining sea
I doubt we will survive the century
now that there is a fact I’d pay to see
Make a coin that says things don’t look good now
extinction or collapse that’s all we got
Sorry for the mess we made of your town
just the way Americans are taught
Make a coin that says don’t ring my doorbell
I am bathing go to hell.
Come back never. My time is filled.
Make a coin that says fuckheads you’re free
why do you receive this as defeat?
Make a coin this all belongs to China
make a coin good luck not getting hurt
Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah
some immigrant who’s doing all the work
Make a coin that tells the truth for once sir
instead of how grand things once were back when war was pure
Make me a coin we have no answer.
The one thing known for sure is we want more.
We all want more.
