(DON HENLEY & STEWART SMITH)

|
LOOK AT THE WEATHER
|
LOOK AT THE NEWS
|
LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE IN DENIAL
|
WE’RE BURNING TIME; BLEEDING GRACE
|
STILL, WE WORSHIP AT THE MARKETPLACE
|
WHILE COMMON SENSE IS GOING OUT OF STYLE
|
I THOUGHT THAT I’D BE ABOVE IT ALL, BY NOW;
|
IN SOME COUNTRY GARDEN IN THE SHADE
|
|
BUT IT’S BUSINESS AS USUAL
|
DAY AFTER DAY
|
BUSINESS AS USUAL
|
JUST GRINDING AWAY
|
YOU TRY TO BE RIGHTEOUS
|
YOU TRY TO DO GOOD
|
BUT BUSINESS AS USUAL
|
- TURN YOUR HEART INTO WOOD
|
|
MONUMENTS TO ARROGANCE; REACH FOR THE SKY
|
OUR BETTER NATURES BURIED IN THE RUBBLE
|
WE’VE GOT THE PRETTIEST WHITE HOUSE THAT MONEY CAN BUY,
|
SITTING UP THERE IN THAT BELTWAY BUBBLE
|
AND WHEN “EL JEFE” TALKS ABOUT OUR FREEDOM,
|
THIS IS WHAT HE REALLY MEANS:
|
BUSINESS AS USUAL
|
HOW DIRTY WE PLAY
|
BUSINESS AS USUAL
|
DON’T YOU GET IN THE WAY
|
MAKES YOU FEEL HELPLESS
|
MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE A CLOWN
|
BUSINESS AS USUAL IS BREAKIN’ ME DOWN
|
|
BOY, YOU CAN’T GO SURFIN’ IN CENTURY CITY
|
THEM SHARKS OUT THERE ARE LURKING BENEATH THE CURL
|
THEY’LL ROB YOU BLIND AND CHEW YOU UP, AND IT AIN’T PRETTY
|
AND IT’S A SOUL-SUCKING, SOUL-SUCKING, SOUL-SUCKING,
|
SOUL-SUCKING, SOUL-SUCKING, SOUL-SUCKING WORLD
|
|
BUSINESS AS USUAL ? DAY AFTER DAY
|
BUSINESS AS USUAL ? FEEL LIKE WALKING AWAY
|
A BARREL OF MONKEYS; A BAND OF RENOWN
|
BUT BUSINESS AS USUAL IS BREAKIN’ ME DOWN
