This Business Is Goin’ Down

You've been screaming again that I don't do enough for success to be assured
Hey, I could hire a midget with a sandwich board to pass out my brochure, or a has-been actor with a bullhorn and cape to help get out the word
I could save my nickels in a mason jar or polish me up a turd

This business is going down
Your love depends on the money
Now that business is in the ground, guess so are we, honey

Well, you nagged me into getting that loan from your daddy, who calls me "that damn ne'er-do-well"
Bet he'd love to see his little angel come home, while getting off watching me in hell
I've tried free balloons, a mechanical ape and marking everything half off
While you're home at your job or watching TV shows, it's quite a thrill here being my own boss

This business is going down
Your love depends on the money
Now that business is in the ground, guess so are we, honey

Rich or poor, 'til death comes calling, before God and man avow
But since you see me as a dead man walking, guess that don't hold any water now that business is going down

Well, I sure do wish we had a couple of kids
Now wouldn't that be cool?
You'd show Suzy how to run her future old man down
I'd teach Bobby how to drop out of school
You'd instruct her in the art of gourmet cooking, fine meals from the microwave
Like me, my son will be an entrepreneur and retire to an early grave

This business is going down
What a couple of dummies
A cold fish and a circus clown
Oh Lord, aren't we funny?
This business is going down
Your love depends on the money
Now that business is in the ground, guess so are we, honey
Now that business is in the ground, guess so are we, honey
Now that business is in the ground, guess so are we, honey
