about

Damn big business fat cats...they're why we can't have nice things... (got a little raw in the last chorus. Sums up 2020...)

lyrics

Businessman
Lord, you better weep and moan
Your great avarice
Lord how much it’s grown
You start wars
In the name of black gold
Displacing helpless millions
Who now have nowhere to go

You’re pilin’ up that cash
Leaving misery in your wake
You’ve gotten fat
Off all the filthy loot you take
Scorched earth and wreckage
You don’t care how many people die
You and your boardroom stock market day tradin’ uniform of death
Your suit and tie

Chorus:
You think your money’s gonna make you whole
But just what can you trade for your soul?
You gonna hang yourself by your tie
Shovin’ that camel through the needle’s eye

Businessman
You gonna wail and cry
You keep searching for
Another ‘hood to gentrify
No thought for all
The innocents you displace
Your lust for nothin’ but profit
Is just a damn disgrace

Chorus

Solo

Repeat Chorus
