Business As Usual

Look at the weather, look at the news
 Look at all the people in denial
 We're running time, leaving grace
 Still we worship at the marketplace
 While common sense is goin' out of style
 I thought that I would be above it all by now
 In some country garden in the shade
 But it's business as usual
 Day after day
 Business as usual
 Just grinding away
 You try to be righteous
 You try to do good
 But business as usual
 Turns your heart into wood
 Monuments to arrogance reach for the sky
 Our better nature's buried in the rubble
 We got the prettiest White House that money can buy
 Sitting up there in that beltway bubble
 The main jefe talks about our freedom
 But this is what he really means...
 Business as usual
 How dirty we play
 Business as usual
 Don't you get in the way
 Yeah, make you feel helpless
 Make you feel like a clown
 Business as usual
 Is breakin' me down
 Boy, you can't go surfing in Century City
 Yeah, them sharks out there are lurking beneath the curb
 Yeah, they rob you blind, chew you up, and it ain't pretty
 And it's a soul suckin', soul suckin', soul suckin', soul suckin'
 Soul suckin', soul suckin' world
 Business as usual
 Day after day
 Business as usual
 Feel like walking away
 A barrell of monkeys
 Or band of renown
 Business as usual
 Is breakin' me down
 Breakin' me down
