Prompt / Lyrics
(Intro) [didgeridoo deep rhythm building fast] [Whispered voice says] Time Money Knowledge [Verse 1] [didgeridoo pushes the beat] I spent my youth on small talk Hours leaking through the cracks Chased every dull little dollar Still feel the emptiness at my back [Harmonica answers Low and distant] Mama said “Son Watch your spending Not just the bills in your hand You pay in heartbeats and headaches And all the things you never understand” [Harmonica curls around the last line] [Chorus] Three kinds of currency One you hold Two you bleed Time Money And what you learn Which one do you really need? You can stack up every green bill Still come up broke indeed Three kinds of currency Time Money And what you heed [Harmonica wails Climbing then falling] [Verse 2] [didgeridoo beats heavy] I wasted years on the wrong road Pennies shining in my eyes Traded sleep for a timecard Truth got buried under lies [Short Sharp harmonica reply] Then an old friend shared his secrets Didn’t charge me any fee Said “What I know bought my freedom Cost me everything but me” [Harmonica echoes the word “me ” long and sweet] [Chorus] [harmonica plays] Three kinds of currency One you hold Two you bleed Time Money And what you learn Which one do you really need? You can stack up every green bill Still come up broke indeed Three kinds of currency Time Money And what you heed [Harmonica solo Rough and soulful Riding the didgeridoo pulse] [Bridge] [didgeridoo solo epic jam] Clock keeps ticking Pockets jingle But your mind is standing still What good’s a heavy wallet If your spirit’s light as the bill? [Harmonica whispers Then growls] So spend your hours on wisdom Let the silver slip on through ‘Cause every lesson you carry Pays your way when time is due [Harmonica swells Then softens] [Chorus] Three kinds of currency One you hold Two you bleed Time Money And what you learn Which one do you really need? When the last day’s closing over Only one will set you free Three kinds of currency I’m cashing in what’s inside of me [Harmonica fades Answering the final line in a weary sigh] [didgeridoo solo]
