Eagles - Business as Usual





Look at the weather, look at the news
Look at all the people in denial
We're running time, leaving grace
Still we worship at the marketplace [1]
While common sense is goin' out of style [2]
I thought that I would be above it all by now
In some country garden in the shade

But it's business as usual
Day after day
Business as usual
Just grinding away
You try to be righteous
You try to do good
But business as usual
Turns your heart into wood
[3]

Monuments to arrogance reach for the sky
Our better nature's buried in the rubble
We got the prettiest White House that money can buy
Sitting up there in that beltway bubble
The main jefe talks about our freedom
But this is what he really means...

Business as usual
How dirty we play
Business as usual
[4]
Don't you get in the way
Yeah, make you feel helpless
Make you feel like a clown
Business as usual
Is breakin' me down

Boy, you can't go surfing in Century City
Yeah, them sharks out there are lurking beneath the curb
Yeah, they rob you blind, chew you up, and it ain't pretty
And it's a soul suckin', soul suckin', soul suckin', soul suckin'
Soul suckin', soul suckin' world
[5]

Business as usual
Day after day
Business as usual
Feel like walking away
A barrell of monkeys
Or band of renown
Business as usual
Is breakin' me down
Breakin' me down

[1] The current world order of Capitalims is based on worshipping the marketplace or Mammon.
[2] Common sense is useless in this world.
[3] Trying to do good often does not work and your trust may be abused.
[4] The word freedom is often used by politicians to justify the dirty games and wars that fill the pockets of the oligarchs.
[5] The current world order dominated by money destroys your soul.
