Lyrics for 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
