On With The Business
Let's get on with the business! I worry inside about that prick in the parking lot I wanted this to be our year! But they cut off supplies and they sent over some guys And those guys have made it perfectly clear! I know I made them a promise, but those are just words, And words can get weird I think they made themselves perfectly clear. Blood on the carpet, mud on my mattress Waking up without American sadness. Dead receptors, body limitations Weak handshakes and great expectations. Bountiful chemicals, beautiful kitchens So many choices, decisions, decisions I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true. They disconnected the phone last week, That's how we lost the connection So we went down to the taverns And tried to make an impression. I know I made them a promise, but those are just words, And words can get weird I think they made themselves perfectly clear. Blood on the carpet, mud on my mattress SongtexteWaking up without American sadness. Afternoon matinee and midnight madness. Come on everybody, let's get on with the business! Pledge of allegiance, war of attrition. So many choices, decisions, decisions. I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true Conventional wisdom says we should probably cruise We should probably close We should probably close We should probably close We should probably close Blood on the carpet, mud on the mattress Waking up with that American Sadness.

I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true. I saw that whole crew on the news. We should probably cruise, dude! Now all our friends are acting sketchy and lifeless. Waking up with that American Sadness Dead receptors, body limitations Weak handshakes and great expectations Chemistry, currency, plastic and magic Come on, everybody, let's get on with the business!
