When change was changed
When they changed the change in our pockets
Did it make us less patriotic?
I mean when we went decimal
Did we become less deferential as well?
After all, they took all the royal lineage away
When they gave us this new way to pay
Victoria, your Edwards, your Georges
All disappeared from our coinage
An early example of cancel culture?
What effect did this suppression of the past have upon our future?
