My bank phoned me, early morning, with some bad news
In broken English they informed me that their patience was through
You see I do not have enough money to pay what I owe
And the charges they make get my worried, deep in the red I will go
The change in my pocket is never quite enough for what I need
The change in my pocket will never set me free, will never set me free
The phone company, rung this morning, with some bad news
My identity, without warning, had been stolen and used
To take a contract out in my name many miles away
Now they want to know if I've left the country within the last few days
The change in my pocket is never quite enough for what I need
The change in my pocket will never set me free, will never set me free
Graduates head for the dole queues, factories go to wall
Bankers still get all their bonus, those at the top take it all
Politicians line their pockets with more money than I'll see
From now until the day I die it's counting pocket change for me
The change in my pocket is never quite enough for what I need
The change in my pocket will never set me free, will never set me free
