William Finn - Change lyrics

[LISA] Hey, mister! Hey, you! Pennies or nickels or dimes We live in perilous times I don't ask you to treat me nice I'm not asking for pleasant conversation I'm not asking for paradise All I'm asking 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 won't ask you to treat me like your mother I'm not asking for sympathy All I'm asking for is change Change the government, k** 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 by more d** 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
