Business As Usual Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The[G] Ki[D]ng[G][D]
is in
the counting room
[G]Count[D]ing all [G]his money
[D]The Queen is in the parlor
[G]Eating [D]cakes and hon[G]ey
The [D]judge is in the pocket,
[G]the [D]jury's been [G]hung
The [D]Liberty [G]Bell,
you know her [D]neck has been [G]rung
It's [D]all under the table,
it's all by hook or crook
[G]Back out in the kitchen,
someone's [Bb]cookin' the books
The [D]game is rigged, the fix is in
The cards are [G]all marked,
you're [D]on your [Bb]own
Sink or swim, it's just a [D]business,
busi[G]ness as [D]usual[G]
[D]There used to be a mountain,
[G]and now[D] it's just a hol[G]e
[D]But lucky for a couple [G]months,
[D]sell a bunch of [G]coal
[D]Used to be a riv[G]er,
but the [D]river caught a [G]fire
Might [D]not have heard about [G]it,
paid [D]off the town [G]crier
[D]There used to be fishes,
there used to be trees
It's getting hot in [G]here,
a hundred [Bb]twenty degrees
There's [D]poison in the milk
and in the whole shopping list
There's poison [G]in the medicine
for [Bb]ills that don't exist
It's just [D]business,
busi[G]ness as [D]usual[G]
[D]Preacher jumpin' up and [G]down
Thump[D]in' on the [G]Bible
[D]Burn another city down
[G]And [D]call it a [G]revival[D]
Apocalyptic promises
[G]might [D]scare you to death
[G]You don't [D]need a revelation
[G]to [D]see that it's a [G]mess
[D]Seven lords a -leapin',
see how high they jump
Con the marks, [G]cheat the chumps,
slick the [Bb]Suckers, all the bumpkins have been [D]weaseled and bamboozled and finagled,
they've been scammed
The [G]whole wide world
is looking like the [Bb]vil lage of the damned
[D]Who was that masked man
pulling the strings?
He had his [G]thumb on the scale
and they were [Bb]kissing his rings
His [D]hand was in your pocket,
the fingers in the till
Don't [G]bite the hand that feeds the [D]hogs
at the [Bb]trough upon the hill
They [D]don't care if you're hungry,
they don't care if you cry
They [G]don't care if you're sick or poor,
they [Bb]don't care if you die
It's just [D]business,
busi[G]ness as [D]usual[G][D]
Business, [G]business as [D]usual
[G]UHHHHHHHHH
[D]20 gets you 30, 30 gets you 40,
40 gets you [G]50, 55
Give it a 5, 5, 60, [D]61, 162 twice 63,
[G]three times 65
Somebody give me the [D]70, 75!
bigger come on,
you know you want it
Lady gotta [G]go gotta run,
89, 91 it's a [D]good, it's a deal
Give me the triple dime bill,
All [G]in all done,
Give me the hundred dollar billion,
Once Old!
