We are being strip-mined by the powers that be
We are being strip-mined by the new bourgeoisie
Now we're beggingB-E-G-G-I-N-G (spell it for me)
Begging for changeI wanna change my hair, I wanna change my name
I wanna change the storyline, the carpet, my voice, my aimsB-E-G-G-I-N-G (ah, spell it for me)
Begging for changeI wanna change my shoes, I wanna change my car
I wanna change my way of life, the temperature, the way things areB-E-G-G-I-N-G (yeah, spell it for me)
Begging for changeI wanna change my job, I wanna change my attitude
I wanna change myself, I wanna change me, him and youI've seen the future, the future is hard
You pay with your life, they pay with their card, yeahB-E-G-G-I-N-G (ah, spell it for me)
Begging for changeIt's time to wake up and smell the unfairness
It's the end of the West, which is perhaps for the best
It's the end of the West, which is perhaps for the best
But I couldn't care less, I couldn't care less, no!B-E-G-G-I-N-G
Begging for changeWeren't you the ones supposed to make a change?
Slash prices at a stroke, break the supermarket chains?
Yes, sir, that was us, it was a joke
Yes, sir, that was us, it was a joke, yeah!B-E-G-G-I-N-G
Begging for changeWe took to the streets with a banner that reads
With a banner that reads, "Next customer, please"
We took to the streets with a banner that reads
"Next customer, please, next customer, please!"Shut up, please
Begging for change
Begging for (I beg to differ, I beg your pardon?)
Change (I beg to live)
Begging for (I beg to breathe)
Change (I beg for money, I beg for change)
Begging for change (I beg for food, I beg for drink)
Begging for change (I beg to exist)
Begging forBegging for change, begging for change
Begging for change, begging for change
Begging for change, begging for change
Begging for change, begging for change
Begging for change, change, change, changeAll throughout history, it's always the same
Everyone, everywhere, begging for change
I've seen the future, the future is strange
When you're begging for change, you're begging for chains
Begging for chains
So, change

What energy for a band that's nearly 50 years old! In my mind, during the nineties, they had a more pop sound.
