Detrimental assets, money down the drain 

C-C-Cash in all their pockets 

(let's) ride the gravy train 


Playing at casinos, yachts and caviar 

Mistresses and champagne 

Apartments and fast cars 


Bridge: 

Dehumanise resources, fix the budget plan 

A grey suit revolution, hide the paper trail 


Chorus: 

You take a number for a number 

Take a penny for a dime 

A number for a number 

Another dirty crime 


Capital expenditure, global energy 

Upsize all the markets, cost is misery 


Siphon off the excess 

Secretive accounts 

Documents and cotracts 

Third world body count 


Bridge... 


Chorus...
