If you’ve worked for two companies
I guarantee you’ve been screwed
Worked overtime, laid off, lied to
You crated up the equipment for shipment overseas
And watched your job roll away to some foreign factory

And they say
“This is just business”
They say that quite a lot
but these decisions have human consequences
Like the next time you say “It’s just business”
You’ll be taken out and shot

Take a lesson from the Russians
Easy to see
The people starved on land 
owned by the bourgeoisie
The people got together 
cooked up a little plot
And all the people with soft hands were taken out and shot

and they said
“This is just business”
They said that quite a lot
but their decisions had human consequences
Like the next time you say “It’s just business”
You’ll be taken out and shot

So here’s to the boards of directors and to the government elite
Try to see through ruthless greed, be a bit more discreet
‘Cause legal loopholes and reasonable doubt 
mean nothing to an angry mob
And everyone who ever ripped us off
Will be taken out and shot

and I’ll say
I might say that quite a lot
but my decisions have human consequences
Like the next time you say “It’s just business”
You’ll be taken out and shot

The next time you say “It’s just business”
You’ll be taken out and shot
