Styx

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

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

HALF-PENNY, TWO-PENNY, BACK IN THE STATES
YOU JUST COULDN´T TAKÉ THAT AFRICAN SPACE
YES MRS. CLEAVER YOUR SON´S HOME TO STAY
WE ALL KNOW IT´S THE AMERICAN WAY

REPEAT CHORUS

HALF-PENNY, TWO-PENNY, ASHES TO DUST
THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR SAYS „ IN GOD WE TRUST“
JUSTICE FOR MONEY HOW MUCH CAN I PAY
WE ALL KNOW IT´S THE AMERICAN WAY

REPEAT CHORUS
