Business Goes on as Usual

Business goes on as usual

The corn and the profits are high

And TVs boom in every living room

They tell us what deodorants 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

While business goes on as usual

There's plenty to choose from the rack

But rumor goes that the latest thing in clothes

The latest thing in clothes will be black

But business goes on as usual

As usual

As usual
