lyrics

The peasant in the field
Gets up early to bring in the harvest
Packs the wheat on a truck
While he sees his neighbours are starving
He suffers from the sight of their mourning
but he's a slave of the national bank
His debts keep him from hesitating
He sold his will to think

Let's burn the money
Burn it
Before someone else burns it for us
Let's stop the running
Stop the running
Let's let the steel towers rust
Let's burn the money
Burn it
Before someone else burns it for us
Let's stop the running
Stop the running
Let's let the steel towers rust

The mechanic in Mexico City
The clerk in London Town
The nurse in Rajasthan
So many souls are just let down
They all fall out of the system they live for
When the money stops to flow
They used to have a good life in those days
But those days are long ago

Let's burn the money
Burn it
Before someone elsee burns it for us
Let's stop the running
Stop the running
Let's let the steel towers rust
Let's burn the money
Burn it
Before someone else burns it for us
Let's stop the running
Stop the running
Let's let the steel towers rust
