| It’s no good praying to the powers that be
|
| 'Cause they won’t shake the roots of the money tree
|
| No good praying to the pristine alters
|
| Waiting for the blessing with Holy water
|
| They like the same old wealth in the same old hands
|
| Means the same old people stay in command
|
| Watch your money-go-round; |
| watch your money-go-round
|
| They got it wrapped up tight, they got it safe and sound
|
| Watch your money-go-round; |
| watch your money-go-round
|
| As you fall from grace and hit the ground
|
| Too much money in too few places
|
| Only puts a smile on particular faces
|
| Said too much power in not enough hands
|
| Makes me think «get rich quick; |
| take all I can»
|
| They’re too busy spending on the means of destruction
|
| To ever spend a penny on some real construction
|
| Watch the money-go-round; |
| watch the money-go-round
|
| They amuse themselves as they fool around
|
| Watch your money-go-round; |
| watch your money-go-round
|
| Do like they say, make them vulnerable
|
| No good looking to the Empire corners
|
| «Civilization» built on slaughter
|
| Carrying hopes and carrying maps
|
| The spinless ones fall in their laps
|
| The brave and the bold are the ones to be fooled
|
| With a diet of lies by the Kipling school
|
| Watch your money-go-round; |
| watch your money-go-round
|
| But I just can’t help being cynical
|
| Watch your money-go-round; |
| watch your money-go-round
|
| Do like I say, make me wonderful
|
| Their morals are clean and their clear
|
| They bend your arm and they bend your ear
|
| Said they bend your mind as you talk in circles
|
| Bend over forwards, this won’t hurt you
|
| Till there’s blood in your lap; |
| blood on your hands
|
| Watch the money-go-round; |
| watch the money-go-round
|
| Come spend a penny, go out with a pound
|
| Watch the money-go-round; |
| watch the money-go-round
|
| As you fall from grace and hit the ground
|
| (On the money-go-round, you wanna get on but it won’t slow down)
|
| The need your votes and you know where to send 'em
|
| Be we don’t get the choice of a public referendum
|
| On all the real issues that affect our lives
|
| Like the USA base to which we play midwife
|
| Take a cruise and forget this scene
|
| Said come back later when the slates wiped clean
|
| Watch your money-go-round; |
| watch your money-go-round
|
| Born of woman, killed by man
|
| Watch the money-go-round; |
| watch your money-go-round
|
| Do like they pray, make it wonderful
|
| The good and righteous sing their hymns
|
| The crimpoline dresses who have no sins
|
| Christians by day, killers in war
|
| The hypocrites who know what they’re fighting for
|
| Killing for peace, freedom and truth
|
| But they’re too old to go so they send the youth
|
| Watch the money-go-round, watch the money-go-round
|
| I don’t think he was an astronaut
|
| Watch the money-go-round, watch the money-go-round
|
| I must insist — he was a Socialist!
|
| Watch your money-go-round; |
| watch your money-go-round
|
| They got it wrapped up tight, they got it safe and sound
|
| Watch your money-go-round; |
| watch your money-go-round
|
| As you fall from grace and hit the ground |
