lyrics

Inconvenience causes a frey
In this old part of town, where night could be day
There's a ruck at the front in the queue for the bank
With time for last orders, but no time for thanks, singing...

Money, more money, we want nothing less
Make it better and bigger and shut out the rest
There's no place in this world for the thinkers and fools
With luck they'll stay quiet, this riot is only for you

For security give them your cash
To invest and repay you in sums that are vast
They'll smile and implore you to give a bit more
Making worry seem funny with profits galore

Money, more money, we want nothing less
Make it better and bigger and shut out the rest
There's no place in this world for the thinkers and fools
With luck they'll stay quiet, this riot is only for you

Do you care where your money has been
Or the funding of crooked regimes
With guns for the nations who hold the trump cards
Our oil-fed addiction's the drip in their arm

Money, more money, we want nothing less
Make it better and bigger and shut out the rest
There's no place in this world for the thinkers and fools
With luck they'll stay quiet, this riot is only for you
