half-penny, two-penny [styxworld live 2001] - styx lyrics

[verse 1]
half penny, two penny, gold krugerrand
he was exceedingly rich for such a young man
sad story, old story
bring out the band
another divorce just a few hundred grand

[verse 2]
half penny, two penny, back of the queue
yes mister poor man this means you
justice for money what can you say
we all know it’s the american way

[chorus]
yes, i’m gonna shake myself loose
back home across the sea
where i know that i will be free

[verse 3]
half penny, two penny, back in the states
you just couldn’t take that african pace
yes, mrs. cleaver your son’s home to stay
we all know it’s the american way

[chorus]
[background voices]
“come here * hey angelo… what’s happenin’?”
“hey, stosh, good to see ya”
“what the h*ll you doin’?”
“we’re tearing this old building down here”
“oh you’re kiddin’ me. remember when we were kids, and we used to come here every sat*rday afternoon to see a cartoon?”
“yeah, i remember”
“well what’s she lost to?”
“who knows* politicians, taxes…it’s a disgrace”
“i’m not surprised, they make me sick. they don’t make theaters like this any more.”

[verse 4]
half penny, two penny, ashes to dust
the almighty dollar says “in god we trust”
justice for money how much more can i pay
we all know it’s the american way

[chorus]

i want to be free

[chorus]

we all want to be free
