This Is A Business
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Who on earth?
Common dust,
Winds and calms,
Can't you hear that they came to us?
Oh my god,
Given up,
Washed out and folded
And goal is to know where we are
When the season ends
And the wedding comes
Break elastic bands
All really long
To the common truth
Or the common use
When the pitch comes in
Then the warning comes
This is a business
Come on make a difference
Show us your instinct
Money making engine
We have the money
And the people's trust
We don't really need you
But you need us
This is a business
This is the only way of life
This is a business
This is the only way of life
Who on earth?
Scared to trust?
Throwing bones
At the stones, what you're mad about?
No idea,
In dubious
Going in for the kill
When you do think of us
When the season ends
And the wedding comes
Break elastic bands
All really long
To the common truth
Or the common use
When the pitch comes in
Then the warning comes
This is a business
Come on make a difference
Show us your instinct
Body making engine
Get up and believe
You got to perceive you
Takes someone to lead
You got to agree too
This is a business
This is the only way of life
This is a business
This is the only way of life
This is a business
Come on make a difference
Show us your instinct
Money making engine
We have the money
And the people's trust
We don't really need you
But you need us
This is a business
This is the only way of life
This is a business
This is the only way of life
