0:01That's what they want oh yeah
0:07Money honey
0:12See them sitting in the rain
0:18As the sky is darkening
0:23Three lines of traffic are edging past
0:29The ministry of social affairs
0:35At a junction on the ground
0:40An amputee and a pregnant hound
0:46Sit by the young men with withered arms
0:52As if death had already passed
0:58Through every alleyway and left
1:03A million beggars silhouettes
1:09Near where the money changers sit
1:15By their locked glass cabinets
1:21What has happened let go and ask
1:26The ministry of social affairs
1:32Near where the money changers sit
1:38By their locked glass cabinets
1:43That's what they want oh yeah
1:49Money honey
1:55That's what they want oh yeah
2:01Money honey
2:06That's what they want oh yeah
2:12Money honey
2:18That's what they want oh yeah
2:23Money honey
2:29That's what they want oh yeah
2:35Money honey
2:40That's what they want oh yeah
2:46Money honey
2:51That's what they want oh yeah
2:58Money honey
3:03That's what they want oh yeah
3:09Money honey
3:15That's what they want oh yeah
3:20Money honey
That's what they want oh yeah Money honey See them sitting in the rain As the sky is darkening Three lines of traffic are edging past The ministry of social affairs At a junction on the ground An amputee and a pregnant hound Sit by the young men with withered arms As if death had already passed Through every alleyway and left A million beggars silhouettes Near where the money changers sit By their locked glass cabinets What has happened let go and ask The ministry of social affairs Near where the money changers sit By their locked glass cabinets That's what they want oh yeah Money honey That's what they want oh yeah Money honey That's what they want oh yeah Money honey That's what they want oh yeah Money honey That's what they want oh yeah Money honey That's what they want oh yeah Money honey That's what they want oh yeah Money honey That's what they want oh yeah Money honey That's what they want oh yeah Money honey
