Acoustic Junction - Penny For Your Thoughts lyrics

NOBODY PICKS UP A PENNY ANYMORE THE OLD SIGNS ARE NOW NEW STORES SALE, SALE, THERE'S ONE IN EVERY DOOR IT'S A WONDER I DON'T GO OUT ANYMORE there's houses where the trees used to be oil cans in the sea bottled water for a fee hostages that were once free meter maids they're never on strike traffic jams up and down the pike $400 bucks just to buy a bike $50 more for the kryptonite dinner is cold and so is your date the grateful dead are now forty eight we're all trying to watch our weight with tofu and granola there's pizza pads on every ave eighteen movies and they're all bad your favorite group is now a fad heck the whole world's gone mad why, look at baseball it just isn't the same Pete Rose ought to change his name after all he bet on the game money's more important than the hall of fame? manager's, agents, they have no heart cutbacks, setbacks, tear you apart the bills are paid but the car won't start leave it in the yard, call it art sunny days yes there are those but what's the use when you have to wear clothes cake white junk on your nose and all the spots where the cancer grows well i've tried real hard but it's no use i'll stay at home with no excuse talk to my dog who speaks the truth and protect myself from the murderers and the fast food restaurants the stabbers the wanna be debutantes the escapees who concrete parking lots it's a wonder i don't go out anymore.
