Keep it simple

Keep it neat

Aim your hook

At the man in the street

Throw him the bones

But freeze the meat

'Cos the meat goes off

But the beat goes on



Business is business

Business is business

Business is business

And only the tough survive



Radio fallout

In an open prison

Jazz-based soul tinged

Watered down rhythm

Too many pretty sleeves

With Nothing in 'em

Johnny be good or bad

But not indifferent

Hard-core bland-out

Stocking filler

Soft-sell overkill

Tee-shirts given

Everybody's wearing them

See you at the party tonight



M.O.R. is good

M.O.R. is safe

M.O.R. is here



Just give it to 'em

Never think about it

Force fed

On half dead melodies

Dragged up from the archives

Playing on your sympathies

I'm being brain-washed

And don't know how to block it

'Cos something in the chorus

Burns a hole in my pocket

And I can't feel the pain

When my finger's in the socket

And only the numb survive

Only the numb survive

Only the numb survive



Business is business

Business is business

Business is business

Everyone was doing it

You weren't at the party last night



M.O.R. is good

M.O.R. is safe

M.O.R. is you

M.O.R. is here

Where

Relax, Relax

Relax, Relax

Relax, Relax

Relax, Relax

Maybe you can think of a way

To turn me on
