I'm tired of tryna fill a pair – I don't even know who they belong to. High up on a hill somewhere, I can't even enjoy the view. I'm tired of my killer hair, wish I could dig a less expensive 'do. I'm glad that I'm a billionaire.

One for the Activist Judge Hear her read her decision One for the Soldier in the Sand Watch him leave his division You decide And you approach your machine With the change you've made And you find You've got a pocket full of dimes in a penny arcade You're in a penny arcade It's just a penny arcade You've got a pocketful of dimes in a penny arcade One for the President's Mouth You can stick anything in One for the Capitol Choir Such delight when they're singin' Take your time The machines don't care about the change you've made They just serve to remind You've got a pocket full of dimes in a penny arcade You're in a penny arcade It's just a penny arcade You've got a pocketful of dimes in a... You wanna play You wanna make the mechanisms move You wanna play the wires along the tracks and through the grooves A dream sublime The machine's gonna care about the change you've made But in the meantime You've got a pocket full of dimes in a penny arcade You're in a penny arcade It's just a penny arcade You've got a pocketful of dimes in a... You think it's time You got into the coin-operated entertainment trade You'll do just fine Sweeping the floor of all the dimes in a penny arcade You're in a penny arcade Your very own penny arcade You'll have buckets full of dimes in a penny arcade
