Every Coin - Spring Offensive

Their orders fell from their mouths like spit

Circle like wolves but speaking like me

I hoped this was a case of collect and retreat

But they took off my suit and tipped the coins from my wallet

Well I swear I saw one smile as I found myself on my knees

He said I looked so tired and that I should stay there and eat

He said I should be grateful, that I should try to swallow hard

I looked up from the floor and I said I just don’t know where to start

I looked up from the floor and I said I just don’t know where to start

Please take a drink it seems to help

The hundreds I’ve seen coughing up on their wealth

Get the first one down and the others will follow

As long as it takes every coin must be swallowed

Every coin must be swallowed…

As long as it takes!

I reached for pennies at first because they look so small

But their taste was too bitter, I had to spit them out on the floor

I tried to force down a pound but I started to choke

You see the weight and the gold, yeah it sticks in your throat

Well a hand on my back and a voice in my ear

Says credit cards are next so the work starts here

Just open your mouth and push it down hard

I looked up from the floor I say there’s just too much I can’t

Please take a drink it seems to help

The hundreds I’ve seen coughing up on their wealth

Get the first one down and the others will follow

As long as it takes every coin must be swallowed

As long as it takes

Every coin must be swallowed

As long as it takes

As long as it takes!
