| Insert a coin to hear the band play
|
| Spend some time, then take your change
|
| Notes on the page turn to bills on the stage
|
| Ideas on a tray to take home and play
|
| But don’t touch my hands with your warm change
|
| The cash in the hand changes a man
|
| To a transaction in some other man’s plan
|
| Time was born in a clock, music comes from a box
|
| And paper always beats the rock
|
| Value assigned to the dime is a crime
|
| For six or nine or half of the time
|
| Don’t touch the stones that you don’t believe
|
| You can’t take them with you when you leave
|
| Warm change is a trick up a golden man’s sleeve
|
| But don’t touch my hands with your warm change
|
| The cash in the hand changes a man
|
| To a transaction in some other man’s plan
|
| Time was born in a clock, music comes from a box
|
| And paper always beats the rock
|
| Don’t open the box and alter the state
|
| Don’t touch what you cherish or it will change
|
| Tender your soul to the currency
|
| Hold onto your money like it’s a dream |
