Lyrics

Wolves devour the full moon heart
Screams bloodless howls and starves for the dawn
As teeth and jaw sink in like needles
There's no love lost for a helpless pawn
Taking care of business
Selling rock candy and suicide
Don't you get the message?
In the battle of the colors
Eyes for eyes and brothers for brothers
Taking care of business
Selling rock candy and suicide
Buying low and selling high
Business booms when cold lead flies
Don't you get the message?
And it's delivered everyday, everyday
Can't you get the message?
Primal, tribal, criminal
Criminal
Yeah, get the message
Old men backing out of heart attacks
Send the young ones back to do a man's job
To the fire and the water
The best man's daughter weds the wings of a dragonfly
Taking care of business
Of selling rock candy and suicide
Of buying low and selling high
Business booms when cold lead flies
Don't you get the message?
And it's delivered everyday, everyday
Can't you get the message?
Primal, tribal, criminal, oh yeah
Well did you get the message?
Don't you get the message?
