One day I was wondering

I didn't know what to do that day

I stared at myself in the mirror

I saw a Twentieth Century slave

There I was in my back room

There I was wondering why

Tomorrow I'll be earning wages

I won't be thinking about hews and whys



(CHORUS) Moneymaking

Is this the only purpose in life

Moneymaking

Well, I should be happy

And so should be my wife



I went back to the factory

Just like I do every day

I told the guys 'bout my problems

I told 'em I don't Wanda be no slave

Just as long as there's Fridays

Just as long as there's Saturdays

As long as they can drink their wages

Everything seems OK!



(CHORUS)



Sometimes I think I was chosen to carry

The worries of the world

What will be my destiny?

When will I break free?



Now hit me!



And tonight I will change it all

Tonight I'm gonna get myself free

But tonight will never come

We'll keep on living in slavery



(CHORUS
