lyrics

He hides in his suit like
a Snake in the grass
His sales-pitch-fork-tongue-hissed
Now the Wolves wear their name tags,
they are hunting in packs
Herding their prey up the aisles and back
They're smiling
Their teeth are showing

While the Doctors and Lawyers like Vultures descend
They swoop down to the scene of the car accident
to pick the victims to pieces
Then there is the sly silver Fox makes his money
tele-scamming Notch Babies
He says, "The end is near, buy my policy
I'll make you young again
I'll make you young again."

Loan sharks will circle
Until they can make sure it's paid

Take the cash from my hand
Hear the register sing
and the roar of the Lion logo on the screen
He's hungry
I should buy some popcorn

So I exit the dark feeling blind in the sun
And the Bobcats look tired
They ate their fill of asphalt
because we need more parking
with so many up at the pulpit Rams and Bugs

The news cameras capture Guerilla warfare
Eagles into buildings crash landed
Despair is all that there is now

In a cubical cage that smells like a Rat,
whose smile gets bigger along with your debt
Don't take it personal
It's just business
