The title of this song draws on what was almost a throwaway line from ALL’s 1988 debut, Allroy Sez…. The song “Allthymn”, a new version of Descendents’s “ALL-O-Gistics”, mentions “ALL is ALL you have to do / Cause anything else would be A.U.!”
Drank the Kool-Aid but it don’t taste good
I’m doin’ the things you said I should
I know my job is to be in control
But everything seems so out of control
Business as usual
How did I get here?
Business as usual
It’s boring me to tears
How can it be
That I hate my life
Two beautiful kids
A wonderful wife
But every time I’m staring at that screen
Those spreadsheets and numbers make me wanna scream
Business as usual
How did I get here?
Business as usual
It’s boring me to tears
“Working from home”
Playing guitar
Procrastination
Won’t get you far
Is this a sign
I'm not cut out
I’ll never Excel
At PPT
And Word - fail
My Outlook is bleak
Maybe it’s time
To quit right now
Don’t even save your work
Cause business A.U
Drank the Kool-Aid but it don’t taste good
I’m doin’ the things you said I should
But really I’m not, I’m just writing this song
And waiting for the end, I know it won’t be long
Business as usual
How did I get here?
Business as usual
It’s boring me
Business as usual
Guilty as charged
I had to go postal
You broke my fucking heart
Business….Useless
