"A Nickle And A Dime"

Some people complain because they have more than enough
Some people complain because they want more than enough
They don’t think about the goodness in life
They don’t think about the beauty in life
Tens, hundreds, thousands and more
Nickles, dimes, quarters and more
Children Cry alone on the streets
Children die alone on the streets

Wanting much more than a nickle and dime
Wanting much more than a life of crime
You contradict the past you have lost
You contradict by raising the cost
Tainted, elated, jazzy, unwined
The last of your days reversed and intwined
Meant to be cast down forever all time
A penny, a nickle, a quarter, and dime

Rich is poor
Poor is Rich
Life is Death
Death is life
Same is changed
Changed is same
The one without
Is who you blame
The one with
Is never named
Out of mind
Out of sight
You will be changed
After tonight
