Everybody is looking sideways
Pass that dollar just one more time
TheyÂ’re selling guns to a foreign country
And wonder if they can meet supply
ItÂ’s taken years to reach this production
They have orders that must be filled
A thousand rifles for Sandanistas
If we donÂ’t sell them someone else will

They say itÂ’s good for business
TheyÂ’ll never argue if a buckÂ’s to be found
They say itÂ’s good for business
But theyÂ’ll be running
With theyÂ’re heads to the ground

Well donÂ’t you think itÂ’s enough already
What satisfactionÂ’s in cities burned
Well everything is ablaze and sinking
From the weapons that they have turned

Everybody is looking sideways
Pass that dollar just one more time
ItÂ’s a perfectly legal business
Wonder how they can sleep at night

They say itÂ’s good for business
TheyÂ’ll never argue if a buckÂ’s to be found
They say itÂ’s good for business
But theyÂ’ll be running
With their heads to the ground
You know itÂ’s good for business
Why should we argue if a buckÂ’s to be found
Why say itÂ’s good for business
When youÂ’ll be running
Yeah youÂ’ll be running
