Business Is Business Lyrics - Godley And Creme

Keep it simple 

Keep it neat 

Aim your hook 

At the man in the street 

Throw him the bones 

But freeze the meat 

`Cos the meat goes off 

But the beat goes on 

Business is business 

Business is business 

Business is business 

And only the tough survive 

Radio fallout 

In an open prison 

Jazz-based soul tinged 

Watered down rhythm 

Too many pretty sleeves 

With Nothing in `em 

Johnny be good or bad 

But not indifferent 

Hard-core bland-out 

Stocking filler 

Soft-sell overkill 

Tee-shirts given 

Everybody's wearing them 

See you at the party tonight 

M.O.R. is good 

M.O.R. is safe 

M.O.R. is here 

Just give it to `em 

Never think about it 

Force fed 

On half dead melodies 

Dragged up from the archives 

Playing on your sympathies 

I'm being brain-washed 

And don't know how to block it 

`Cos something in the chorus 

Burns a hole in my pocket 

And I can't feel the pain 

When my finger's in the socket 

And only the numb survive 

Only the numb survive 

Only the numb survive 

Business is business 

Business is business 

Business is business 

Everyone was doing it 

You weren't at the party last night 

M.O.R. is good 

M.O.R. is safe 

M.O.R. is you 

M.O.R. is here 

Where 

Relax, Relax 

Relax, Relax 

Relax, Relax 

Relax, Relax 

Maybe you can think of a way 

To turn me on
