Its no good praying to the powers that be
cause they wont 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 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
Theyre 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 cant 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 wont hurt you
Till theres 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 wont slow down)
The need your votes and you know where to send em
Be we dont 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 theyre fighting for
Killing for peace, freedom and truth
But theyre too old to go so they send the youth
Watch the money-go-round, watch the money-go-round
I dont 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
The Style Council were a British pop-soul band active from 1982 to 1989. Founded by Paul Weller, former frontman of The Jam, and Mick Talbot, the group combined soul, jazz, and funk influences with a melodic and sophisticated approach. Their albums, such as "Café Bleu" (1983) and "Our Favourite Shop" (1984), achieved commercial success in Britain, thanks to tracks like "Speak Like A Child", "You're The Best Thing", and "The Lodgers". The Style Council were an innovative group that helped define the aesthetics and music of the British scene in the 1980s. Weller, with his sartorial style and introspective songs, became a style icon and a key figure in the history of British rock.
