My madness rise up in a fury so wild and I let myself go! Spoke my hate to a child. Pennies done that. Pennies done that! Pocket change. Pocket change changed me pocket change changed me, cant afford loose change, cant 'fford loose change. changins a danger for a woman like me. Caught ?tween the devil and the muddy brown sea. I gotta get back to the way I been. god, drag me back to that basement again!! don't know what I said to that little boy... always they's been people who hold they head high getting through. I cant. I cant ! Aint never been no good, finding joy the way you should. Mmmm. Hopin water turn to wine-hopes fine (hah) hopes fine. Hopes fine, till it turn to mud and some folks goes to school at night and some folks march for civil rights and I don't! I aint got the heart! I cant hardly read!
