Lyrics Business of America (acoustic) - Ari Hest

Faith is a victim of circumstance
In this shallow age
It doesn? t stand a chance

Just when you think that it can? t 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 isn? t what you are
It is what you got

Pay no attention to the dying man
If he ain? t got cash
We won? t lend a hand

Oh, can I believe in my America
Oh, in the business of America
Oh, that? s the system at work
Everybody? s a jerk

Oh, can I believe in my America
Oh, hard to believe in my America
Oh, that? s the system at work
Everybody? s a jerk
Gotta get the most, all that? s mine, mine, mine
And ignore the ones
Who are left behind
