The Ministry of Social Affairs
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 (see them sitting in the rain)
Money, honey (as the sky is darkening)
That's what they want, oh yeah (three lines of traffic are edging past)
Money, honey (the Ministry of Social Affairs)
That's what they want, oh yeah (and at a junction on the ground)
Money, honey (an amputee and a pregnant hound)
That's what they want, oh yeah (sit by the young men with withered arms)
Money, honey (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's 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 (see them sitting in the rain)
Money, honey (as the sky is darkening)
That's what they want, oh yeah (three lines of traffic are edging past)
Money, honey (the Ministry of Social Affairs)
That's what they want, oh yeah (and at a junction on the ground)
Money, honey (an amputee and a pregnant hound)
That's what they want, oh yeah (sit by the young men with withered arms)
Money, honey (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's 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
