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

They say it's good for business
They'll never argue if a buck's to be found
They say it's good for business
But they'll be running
With they're heads to the ground

Well don't you think it's enough already
What satisfaction'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
It's a perfectly legal business
Wonder how they can sleep at night

They say it's good for business
They'll never argue if a buck's to be found
They say it's good for business
But they'll be running
With their heads to the ground
You know it's good for business
Why should we argue if a buck's to be found
Why say it's good for business
When you'll be running
Yeah you'll be running
