Of course there is a fucking way to change.
People say to better your life, you must!
But no matter how equal five pennies is to a nickel
they'll never,
ever.
be the same.

Change for humans is silly
slap happy silly
we'll adapt to suit someone else,
but it's a sham.
As much of a sham as receiving five pennies
instead of a nickel.

We're still the same schmucks as we were the morning before
just hiding it under the mattress
with those same old Lincolns
that will always,
always.
be the same.

I'll be the same schmuck,
and so you will be too.
But the best thing is we can sit
and talk over Cheerio's and orange juice
and be nickels to each other,
shiny Jeffersons.

We of course know that we are not nickels
but five lonely pennies under that bed.
We know this, and don't care
because that's kind of what love is
never soul mates
just loose change that goes so well together.

Be it nickels or pennies
or even magnificent Sacagawea,
we know the truth behind us and still, we say yes to love.
Always,
Always.
Of course.
