Business Of America Lyrics - Sunset Over Hope Street - Ari Hest

Faith is a victim of circumstance 

In this shallow age 

It doesnt stand a chance 

Just when you think that it cant get worse 

They will twist your words 

So they sound perverse 

Oh, can I believe in my America? 

Oh, in the business of America 

Gather up the goods like a good robot 

It isnt what you are 

It is what you got 

Pay no attention to the dying man 

If he aint got cash 

We wont lend a hand 

Oh, can I believe in my America 

Oh, in the business of America 

Oh, thats the system at work 

Everybodys a jerk 

Oh, can I believe in my America 

Oh, hard to believe in my America 

Oh, thats the system at work 

Everybodys a jerk 

Gotta get the most, all thats mine, mine, mine 

And ignore the ones 

Who are left behind
