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 terrible thing now baby,
but the guy you got now is a hack.
So get me off this coin,
'cause I don't like either side.
Who did tell you life's either/ or now?
They surely lied!
