lyrics

Lay two pennies on the dead man's eyes
We both know money can't die
Spend all your pennies on the fire in the skies
We both know money can't die

Lay two pennies on the dead child's eyes
We both know money can't die
Bury the bodies in the dirt and the lies
We both know money can't die

We overstay every welcome and we overplay every card
We clap our hands in the Commons when the thinking gets too hard

You say you're sick of sitting on the fence so you burn it down and build a wall instead
You tell me it's not time for all my liberal thoughts as you count out all your pennies for the dead
