Some People In Business
Some people in business do not know how to play fair
One might say they like to get more than their share
Of the substantial profits of their business ventures they live by deceit
It does not seem to bother them when others they do cheat
We live in an age of huge corporate crime
Where some see honesty as belong to another time
Though tis not petty criminals I'm speaking of here
The down on their luck sort of which we so often do hear,
No it is some wealthy people besotted by greed
Not short of money though more of it they feel they do need
They cheat their company shareholders and of the profits take far more than their share
And it seems sad to say their type nowadays are not rare
And in this the great age of the me, myself and i
Some who run corporations know how to cheat and lie.
