Empty Pockets Anthem

Check the wallet.

Check the coat pocket. (hmm)

Are we rich or are we guessing?

Standing by the register with

sweaty palms

Staring at

the screen while

the cashier hums Got

twenty-four dollars and an expired coupon

Praying that the

chip

read doesn't

bring the red

tone (please clear,

please clear)

Card goes in, machine takes time Looking through the numbers on the

receipt line Heartbeat ticking like a clock on strike (hold on)

Not sure you have money?

Take a look in the cushion of the couch!

Not sure you have money?

Hear that banking app give a little shout!

Green light, red light,

roll the dice tonight (we made it out)

Car console full of silver dimes

Nickel rolled under the seat from better times

Gas tank needle floating down near the line

Saying 'ten more miles and you'll be fine'

(oh you think so?)

Card goes in, screen spins round Waiting for that sweet approval sound

Every second feeling like a year went by

(let it pass through)

Not sure you have money?

Take a look in the cushion of the couch!

Not sure you have money?

Hear that banking app give a little shout!

Green light, red light,

roll the dice tonight (we made it out,

yeah!)

It ain't about the digits on a balance sheet

It's knowing how to laugh when you're out on the street

Two loose quarters make a joyful sound

(cling cling)

Transaction approved. (hahaha)

Pack up the bags,

we eat tonight.

Save those loose pennies for tomorrow.
