Procol Harum - Businessman

He's been working for the company Slowly creeping up the rungs The more that he improves his sly moves The more the customers get stung He's been running all these long years He does not try to get folk hurt The stuff they lose has to be used He gets them deeper in the dirt That business man, business man Sundays he still goes to church I think that just makes things worse But he's got to carry on his search For the comfort of his soul Sometimes he just sits there praying For all the bad to go away Longing for that glory day When futures turn to gold If you're a business man You've got to be real If you're a business man There's no time to feel If you're a business man Everything's a deal Although you know It says you shouldn't steal He's been financing such dark things Despite he is family man Magic beans and toxic genes You've got to grab it while you can Talk to him about investments Ask him about returns Question him about protection You're still gonna get burned By that business man You've got to be real If you're a business man There's no time to feel If you're a business man Everything's a deal If you're a business man Don't ever reveal If you're a business man You've got to make 'em squeal If you're a business man Well you've got to be real Although, although you know It says you shouldn't steal
