The Business Enterprise (My Friend John)

My friend John had a plan Said he'd never go away again He stayed up every night Just to get the detail right He says, he says, 'when you got a plan Ya gotta put your best shot in' So I heard him out and made a commitment There was apathy in me Oh, nothing seemed worth doing The day to day routine, I had no time to eat So I stayed home all day, a powerhouse inside me I'd sweep the floor, I'd set the clock And wait the impossible My friend John, don't you know it's hard for me My friend John, I think you got yourself a deal I like the sound of this Business Enterprise I like the sound of this Business Enterprise John was strong, I went along I gave his dream a chance When he turned the fields from brown to green Our heads were full of romance But belief can only move so far You need the killer instinct to go all the way I had to say, 'let's make a new arrangement' My friend John, don't you know it's hard for me My friend John, I think you got yourself a deal I like the sound of this Business Enterprise I like the sound of this Business Enterprise See the brown ground under the green See the brown ground under the green See the brown ground under the green See the brown ground under the green My friend John, don't you know it's hard for me My friend John, I think you got yourself a deal I like the sound of this Business Enterprise I like the sound of this Business Enterprise
