[Verse 1]
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
[Bridge]
In in a far off land with a gun in his hand
He died in a war he did not understand
[Verse 2]
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 things in clothes will be black
[Outro]
But business goes on as usual, as usual
As usual
Business Goes on as Usual was written by Fred Hellerman & Fran Minkoff.
