So you've been trying to get ahead

But coming out empty handed

Losing all the friends you made instead

You pushed your way up to the top

You got so tall you had to stop

Did you squint to see who you were stepping on?

It's your secret to success

That's causing such a mess

And to be honest

Forgetting all of us

Now that is just bad business

You think you're worth your weight in gold

While everybody's looking like the color of money

We knew you when and we don't really think it's funny

Ok

I'm just hoping for that day when

your business life comes to an end

Deal with us just like people again

But you're just scheming on success

And only coming up with meager messiness

You can sell, sell, sell

And never do well

When dealing in bad business

If you're planning to invest

Well, any day now we'll be coming to collect

You can sell, sell, sell

And never do well

When dealing in bad business

It's a disease the way that greed and excess spreads

You never know, I could be next
