The Bottom LineThe "Bottom Line" just makes me sickThe CEO's do too Their ethics are replaced by greed What are we all to do Their companies pollute our air We cough to catch our breath While profits puff out poison smoke The air we breathe means death Our streams are filled with toxic waste While cash flows through their veins The fish all die - the wild life too But business profit gains A profit surely must be made That's private enterprise But save the planet - just take less A worthy compromise Take a margin of the profits Invest to educate For knowledge just might save the day If we give greed the gate Let's talk about the children here And how they're entertained They're plied with sex and violence So what - the cash flow gained We know about the finer things Why not give those a try Think about fine art and such And set their sights on high Both the doctors and the lawyers Can't really be exempt We trust them as they rip us off They're sickly in contempt Dismantle our democracy Demoralize our folk This seems to be the means to end How are we all to cope Dare we hope in our sweet life The laws could be so strong And justice in our system meant That drugs and guns are wrong We've got to try to save the earth And yes - preserve the sun It's not too late to make amends With God's - "Thy Will Be Done" The wake up call is here for us It's time to tow the line The life we save might be our own Rethink the "Bottom Line" |
