The Path of Least Resistance

Business

This song is written for Wall Street. I thought it was clever, and still do.

I'm quite proud of the middle instrumental section and bridge.

I was going for an ELO-ish vibe in the chorus, but didn't quite get it. Not enough flange or awesome strings. Oh well – there's always next time.

I've heard it said, frequently
that life lives best intangibly.
Forget that everything we see
glorifies fat currency.

But if it's all the same to you
I'd like to get rich too.

So don't blame us
It's just business.
We just do what we must –
business.

Dignity
Society
Equality
Humanity:
These are things we do not need
when we agree to live comfortably.

Your conscience
is of no consequence.
Once you're rich
just purchase it.
