[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

[Verse 2]
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 3]
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
