[Intro]
That's what they want, oh yeah
Money, honey
[Verse]
See them sitting in the rain
As the sky is darkening
Three lines of traffic are edging past
The Ministry of Social Affairs
And 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
[Chorus]
Through every alleyway and left
A million beggars silhouettes
Near where the money-changers sit
By their locked glass cabinets
What has happened? Let's go and ask
The Ministry of Social Affairs
Near where the money-changers sit
By their locked glass cabinets
[Outro]
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
