lyrics

Here’s to seeing all your ventures through
A glass to success and all that you choose to do
A problem will be taken in hand
And shown the chute or the abattoir as fast as you can

The trade tricks
Will make your enemies sick
But you’re watched on high and forgiven

Lemme tell ya that I feel for you
Don’t you know I have a deal for you
And some buddies that’ll steal for you
Shamelessly

How pathetically steady
Are the ethically heavy
But you have mercenaries with the coarseness you crave

A blue-eyed smile and an airbrushed mind
A room full of tables and venetian blinds
An attitude to failure that is less than kind
I can’t breathe in the forest that is set on fire

And now I’m wondering what to say to you

No one’s looking for the saint in you
In fact they’re leaning towards voodoo
The courts are going to push the judgment through
As your family does the boo hoo hoo
So here’s to seeing all your ventures through
Lemme tell ya that I feel for you
Remember once I had a deal for you

Now I don’t know what to say to you
I’m not quite sure just what to say to you
I was wondering what to say to you
