Half penny, two penny, gold krugerrand | |
He was exceedingly rich for such a young man | |
Sad story, old story | |
Bring out the band | |
Another divorce just a few hundred grand | |
Half penny, two penny, back of the queue | |
Yes mister poor man this means you | |
Justice for money what can you say | |
We all know it's the american way | |
Yes, i'm gonna shake myself loose | |
Back home across the sea | |
Where i know that i will be free | |
Half penny, two penny, back in the states | |
You just couldn't take that african pace | |
Yes, mrs. cleaver your son's home to stay | |
We all know it's the american way | |
Yes, i'm gonna shake myself loose | |
Back home across the sea | |
Where i know that i will be free | |
'come here - hey angelo... what's happenin'?' | |
'hey, stosh, good to see ya' | |
'what the hell you doin'?' | |
'we're tearing this old building down here' | |
'oh you're kiddin' me. remember when we were kids, and we used to come here every saturday afternoon to see a cartoon?' | |
'yeah, i remember' | |
'well what's she lost to?' | |
'who knows- politicians, taxes...it's a disgrace' | |
'i'm not surprised, they make me sick. they don't make theaters like this any more.' | |
Half penny, two penny, ashes to dust | |
The almighty dollar says 'in god we trust' | |
Justice for money how much more can i pay | |
We all know it's the american way | |
Yes, i'm gonna shake myself loose | |
Back home across the sea | |
Where i know that i will be free | |
(i want to be free) | |
Yes, i'm gonna shake myself loose | |
Back home across the sea | |
Where i know that i will be free | |
(we all want to be free) |
