Get Me Off This Coin A Lyrics

1, 2
1, 2, 3, 4

i freed the slaves and saved the union
and what thanks do i get?
a tiny portrait of my bad side on a single cent
now you give me a penny for my thoughts
i think i'll give it back
my mind is a dangerous thing now, baby
but the guy you got now is a hack

so get me off of this coin
'cos i don't like either side
who did tell you life's either/or now?
they surely lied!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Each of these "Get Me Off This Coin" songs seem to be told from the aspects of old US Presidents who have been featured on US currency but no longer want to.
