On With The Business Lyrics
Let's get on with the business
I'm really sorry about that prick in the parking lot
I wanted this to be our year
But they cut off supplies and they sent over some guys
And those guys they made it perfectly clear
I know I made them a promise but those are just words
And words can get weird
I think they made themselves perfectly clear
Blood on the carpet. Mud on the mattress
Waking up with that American Sadness
Dead receptors. Body limitations
Weak handshakes and great expectations
Bountiful chemicals. Beautiful kitchens
So many choices. Decisions, decisions
I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true
They disconnected the phone last week
That's how we lost the connection
So we went down to the taverns
And tried to make an impression
I know I made them a promise but those are just words
And words can get weird
I think they made themselves perfectly clear
Blood on the carpet. Mud on the mattress
Waking up with that American Sadness
Afternoon matinee. Midnight madness
Come on everybody. Let's get on with the business
Pledge of allegiance. War of attrition
So many choices. Decisions, decisions
I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true
Conventional wisdom says we should probably cruise
I'm really sorry about that prick in the parking lot
I wanted this to be our year
But they cut off supplies and they sent over some guys
And those guys they made it perfectly clear
I know I made them a promise but those are just words
And words can get weird
I think they made themselves perfectly clear
Blood on the carpet. Mud on the mattress
Waking up with that American Sadness
Dead receptors. Body limitations
Weak handshakes and great expectations
Bountiful chemicals. Beautiful kitchens
So many choices. Decisions, decisions
I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true
They disconnected the phone last week
That's how we lost the connection
So we went down to the taverns
And tried to make an impression
I know I made them a promise but those are just words
And words can get weird
I think they made themselves perfectly clear
Blood on the carpet. Mud on the mattress
Waking up with that American Sadness
Afternoon matinee. Midnight madness
Come on everybody. Let's get on with the business
Pledge of allegiance. War of attrition
So many choices. Decisions, decisions
I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true
Conventional wisdom says we should probably cruise
We should probably cruise
Blood on the carpet. Mud on the mattress
Waking up with that American Sadness
Chemistry, currency, plastic and magic
Everybody rise. We're an American business
Great expectations. LA Fitness
So many choices. Decisions, decisions
I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true
I saw that whole crew on the news
We should probably cruise dude
Now all our friends are acting sketchy and lifeless
Waking up with that American Sadness
Dead receptors. Body limitations
Weak handshakes and great expectations
Chemistry, currency, plastic and magic
Come on everybody. Let's get on with the business
I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true
Blood on the carpet. Mud on the mattress
Waking up with that American Sadness
Chemistry, currency, plastic and magic
Everybody rise. We're an American business
Great expectations. LA Fitness
So many choices. Decisions, decisions
I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true
I saw that whole crew on the news
We should probably cruise dude
Now all our friends are acting sketchy and lifeless
Waking up with that American Sadness
Dead receptors. Body limitations
Weak handshakes and great expectations
Chemistry, currency, plastic and magic
Come on everybody. Let's get on with the business
I said a couple things that probably weren't technically true
