Widows and Orphans

[Verse 1a] So this is what it’s come to; And here we are again Older, maybe wiser, but still vain [Verse 1b] It’s a nicer class of room, though; The walls are all off-white No rotting rugs or mattresses in sight [Chorus 1] However many zeroes, I don’t care Let the widows and the orphans have my share [Verse 2a] We aimed to build a new world Through the medium of sound; If only we could put it back the way we found it [Verse 2b] I know you’ve got your reasons Though no-one’s buying mine; For heaven’s sake, just show me where to sign [Chorus 2] However many zeroes, I don’t care Let the widows and the orphans have my share [Chorus 3] However many zeroes does it take? For we left widows, yes, and orphans in our wake So add another one now, it’s all fine You take yours, the widows can have mine What do you want me to sign?
