50 Ways to Kill Your Business

At the request of the prophet:

The problem is all inside your head
They like to say
The answer is easy if you
Take it day by day
They’d like to help you in your struggle
To be safe …
There must be fifty ways
to kill your business

They said it’s really not our habit
To intrude
Furthermore, they hope their message
Won’t be lost or misconstrued
But I’ll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
to kill your business
Fifty ways to kill your business

[CHORUS:]
They just slip out the back, Jack
<b>Make a new plan, Stan</b>
You don’t need to be coy, Roy
Just break yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don’t need to discuss much
Just drop off the lease, Lee
And get yourself free

They said it grieves them so
To see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do
To clear your mind again
I hope you appreciate that
And if I could explain
About the fifty ways

They’ll say why don’t we both
Just sleep on it tonight
And they believe in the morning
You’ll begin to see their light
And then they all go
And you’ll realize I was probably right
There must be fifty ways
to kill your business …
Fifty ways they can kill your business
