The Way We Do Business

Annie's pushin' dope on the sidewalk

Bennie's fencing gear with his smooth talk

Cops are on the take

There's bodies in the lake

It's always been the same

For hell and heaven's sake

That's just the way we do business down here

Fat old cats enjoyin' the high life

Politician's hidin' his jackknife

They're smashin' through your door

Ain't no mercy for the poor

It's never gonna change

So get used to jungle law

That's just the way we do business down here

Down here

You might dream of beaches and blue skies

Headin' north in a new Chevrolet

Hey, buddy, open up your eyes

Then realize

You're locked in till your dyin' day

That's just the way we do business down here

Word is out you've come into good times

A pay-off for all of your hard crimes

Here's some free advice

I'm gonna say it nice

Those guys on the corner

Won't be askin' you twice

That's just the way we do business down here

That's just the way we do business down here

Just the way we do business down here

The way we do business down here

Down here
