Business Goes on as Usual - Roberta Flack

Business goes on as usual

The corn and the profits are high

And tv’s boom in every living room

They tell us what deoderants to buy

Business goes on as usual

Except that my brother’s dead

He was 25 and very much alive

But the dreams have all been blasted from his head

In in a far off land with a gun in his hand

He died in a war he did not understand

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

But business goes on as usual, as usual, as usual
