Lyrics
WHITE CORPORATE MAN IN BUSINESS SUIT
1) Well I was watching TV at election time;
There were 2 candidates trying to lay it on the line
One of the looked like he was training to be cute,
He was a White man in a business suit.
I looked at the other, he was equally astute;
He was a white man in a business suit.
2) Well they kept on talking, they didn’t make sense;
They both seemed to be on the same side of the fence.
There was no real debate, it was a phony dispute;
They were just 2 white men in business suits.
If you want to be president you better learn to salute,
And be a white man in a business suit.
[Chorus] It was a white man in a business suit.
Well every single one of them are in cahoots.
He’s running the U.S., Europe and Russia too;
He’s a white man in a business suit.
3) Well I went to the stream to get a little drink;
The water was dark and murky and it sure did stink..
I went upstream to find the source of the spill;
There was a chemical plant on top of the hill.
I asked for the owner of this place of ill-repute;
He was a white man in a business suit.
[Chorus] He was a white man in a business suit.
The profits are his; it’s our world he pollutes.
He’ll never pay for his crimes he’s got a golden parachute;
He’s a white man in a business suit.
(BRIDGE) Well I got sued by a lawyer; he was after my loot; he was a white man in a business suit.
I got fired by my boss ‘cause I wouldn’t lick his boots; he was a white man in a business suit.
I got evicted by my landlord ‘cause my rent was overdue; he was a white man in a business suit.
I got rejected for a loan at the financial institute, by a white man in a business suit.
I tried talking to my Congressman; he didn’t give a hoot; he was a white man in a business suit.
I went to my preacher but he just asked me to contribute; he was a white man in a business suit.
They finally hauled me to a shrink; he said my case was acute; he was a white man in a business suit.
[Chorus] Well there’s a whole lot of things I’d rather do
Than be a white man in a business suit.
I’d rather be ragged, without any shoes,
Then be a white man in a business suit.
3) Well it ain’t pretty, it ain’t warm;
That business suite is just another uniform.
It’s a symbol of priviledge, greed and abuse;
That’s why they wear that business suit.
Well we need a role-model that’s a little more unique,
Instead of some obsessive, money-hungry geek
[Chorus] Like a white man in a business suit.
I wonder who many could fit in a telephone booth.
Well something must have to go wrong in your youth,
To want to be a white man in a business suit.
He wants his control to be absolute.
From Exxon, to Chrysler, to United Fruit -
White man in a business suit !
