Business goes on as usual
The corn and the profits are high
And the TVs boom in every living room
They tell us which deodorant to buy
Business goes on as usual
Except that my brother is dead
He was twenty-five and very much alive
But the dreams have all been blasted from his head
In a far-off land with a gun in his hand
He died in a war he did not understand
And business goes on as usual
There's plenty to choose from the rack
And the rumor goes, the latest thing in clothes
Will be black
Business goes on as usual
Business goes on as usual
Business goes on as usual
Business goes on as usual
As usual...
