#81$ (Cash Registers) Video (MV)

Money transactions, records of sales
Charities, fashions, licenses, jails
Profit, armies, police, profit, profit, profit, profit

Iron mills, steel pits, unions, paperwork
Trucks and trains, transportation of materials
Making of machines making parts for machines making
Cash registers, cash registers, cash registers, cash registers

Girls in the bureau looking at time clock cards
Making up paychecks, accounting the time used up in filling and emptying
Cash registers, cash registers, cash registers, cash registers

Oil drilling off the coast of Northern California
Skyscrapers built without opening windows
Cows in the dairy losing their newborn children, murder

And the mints and the miners and the makers of money
And the mints and the miners and the makers of money
And the mints and the miners and the makers of money

And the whole world of finance
Girls who work in sterilized offices whose breasts are covered
Boys who tie their throats and drown martinis
And the books written for money
And the songs written for money
And the music played for money
And the pictures painted for money
And the houses built for money
And the food prepared for money
And the animals raised for money
And the wars fought for money
And the lives lived for money
And the lives lived for money
And the lives lived for money
And the lives lived for money

And when the money goes so does the state
And when the money goes so does the state
And when the money goes so does
The state exists to protect the money
