Roberta Flack — Business Goes on as Usual

[Verse 1] Business goes on as usual The corn and the profits are high And TVs boom in every living room They tell us what deodorants to buy Business goes on as usual Except that my brother is dead He was twenty-five and very much alive But the dreams have all been blasted from his head [Bridge] In in a far off land with a gun in his hand He died in a war he did not understand [Verse 2] 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 [Outro] But business goes on as usual, as usual As usual
