Bad business

oh so you've been tryin' to get ahead
but coming out empty-handed,
losing all those friends you made instead

oh you push your way up to the top,
you got so tall you had to stop to just squint to see who you were steppin' on
look your secret to success
is causing such a mess
to be on edge, forgetting all of us,
well that is just bad business

now you think you're worth your weight in gold
while everybody is looking at the color of money
we knew you when and we don't really think it's funny

okay
i'm just hoping for that day when your business life comes to an end
deal with us just like people again

your screaming out success
and i've been coming out with meager messiness
oh yeah well you can search down south
and never do well when dealing with bad business

(instrumental)

if you're planning to invest
like anything i'll be coming to collect
oh yeah well you can search down south
and never do well when dealing with bad business

yeah
bad business
