Loose Change (No Yeah-yeahs) (Live)

Lyrics

I'd give you all of me to know what you were thinking And if I had one wish I'd wish I wasn't sinking here Drowning in this well, oh can't you tell? That I can't pick myself up off the ground Well I've been face down and pushed aside Well you know I'd rather just turn tail and run Than lie here in the sun and watch you pass me by Cause I ain't worth a dime But If only I could stand up straight, I wouldn't have to lie and wait I could up and roll away, and never be ignored I've got a feeling that I'm something more Than just a piece of copper ore, turning green and looking for The reason I was born Well I've been around since 1974, in banks and bottom drawers And on railroad ties. I've been passed around and cast aside And skipped and flipped and flattened wide, spun around And thrown away and left alone to lie But if only I could stand up straight, I wouldn't have to lie and wait I could up and roll away, and never be ignored I've got a feeling that I'm something more Than just a piece of copper ore, turning green and looking for The reason I was born, yeah yeah (I just should never play a guitar solo in a concert) But I heard about a penny found, lying underneath the couch By a woman who was kneeling down, looking for some change Then the woman danced around and called her friends all over town Told them what was lost is found, it's another penny saved So I find that all this time beneath the surface I could shine Like all the gold a king and queen could measure You see even just a penny is a treasure
