Loose Change

I'd give you all of me to know what you were thinking
 And if I had one wish I'd wish I wasn't sinking here
 Drowning in this well, oh can't you tell?
 I can't pick myself up off the ground,
 Well I've been face down and pushed aside.
 Well you know I'd rather just turn tail and run
 than lie here in the sun and watch you pass me by
 Cause I ain't worth a dime.
 (yeah yeah, oh yeah) Yeah, yeah (yeah yeah)
 But If only I could stand up straight, I wouldn't have to lie and wait,
 I could up and roll away, never be ignored
 I've got a feeling that I'm something more
 than just a piece of copper ore, turning green and looking for
 The reason I was born.
 I've been around since 1964, in banks and bottom drawers
 And on railroad ties. I've been passed around and cast aside
 Skipped and flipped and flattened wide, Spun around
 And thrown away and left alone to lie
 But If only I could stand up straight, I wouldn't have to lie and wait,
 I could up and roll away, never be ignored
 I've got a feeling that I'm something more
 than just a piece of copper ore, turning green and looking for
 The reason I was born.
 (yeah yeah, oh yeah) Yeah, yeah (yeah yeah) na na na na na
 But I heard about a penny found, lying underneath the couch
 By a woman who was kneeling down, looking for some change.
 Then the woman danced around and called her friends all over town
 Told them what was lost is found, it's another penny saved.
 And so I find that all this time beneath the surface I could shine
 Like all the gold a king and queen could measure
 You see even a penny is a treasure
 (yeah yeah, oh yeah) Yeah, yeah (yeah yeah) na na na na na
