A penny for your thoughts
A penny for your soul
A penny for the lonely nights
that you have spent at home
A penny for your problems
and everything youve learned
A penny when you're under fire
how hot you felt it burn
Our dreams: we sold every last one
Hold on so tight to the truth you have
Honestly we sold ourselves to the bottom
Hopefully we can buy it back
It costs a penny to be wealthy
A penny to repent
A penny to buy back the love
Your broken heart has spent
A penny for the medicine
The pills that they provide
They can charge us anything
If it will save a life
A penny from the factory
We work until we're dead
Buying things that we don't need
No money left for bread
