Make make.


There's no way out, no way in
To the hallowed halls, the inner ring.
You're just a face in the crowd.
You got no place when you're down and out.


Mona Lisa, you can stop searchin'.
Don't you know we're not Virgin.


[ Chorus ]

We're on the make make.
We only take take.
We're on the make make.
We accumulate.
We're on the make make.
Don't mind, it's fake fake.
We're on the make make.
We make heartbreak.


Make make.


We build our tower on shifting sand.
You got no idea what's changing hands.
No chivalry. Who cares what you feel?
This is not the place for high ideals.


Mona Lisa, you can stop searching.
Don't you know we're not Virgin?


[ Repeat Chorus ]

Mona Lisa, you can stop searching.
Don't you know we're not Virgin?


We're on the make, no sympathy, we're sacrosanct.
We're on the make, no charity, no thanks.
We're on the make make.
