“Business Is Booming”

This one is for all you war profiteers out there!

Follow the money, folks.

I did my best to channel Tom Lehrer and Cole Porter here. I dare you to find a catchier song about the military-industrial complex.

This is novelty. This is satire. Don’t put me on any lists.

Lyrics “Business Is Booming”

We’re in the business of war and business is booming.
Everything is going just great.
Sales are through the roof, and bodies in the ground.
We’ll be billionaires by Christmas at this rate.
Black Friday deals got nothing on us.
We’re the whole reason Armageddon is up on us.

World War 3 is just around the corner.
That’s music to the ears of all our shareholders.
It’s the business of war and business is booming right along.

We’re in the business of war and our deals are to die for.
You’re gonna love the products that we’ve got.
The latest in technology, weaponry and torture.
No healthcare, but we’ve got the guns in stock.
We have to lobby against ceasefires.

We want to be the people Henry Kissinger admires.
World War 3 is just around the corner.
That’s music to the ears of our shareholders.
It’s the business of war and business is booming right along.
We’re out of the red can’t say the same for the dead.
Our nation is cash-cropping over seas the bombs are dropping.
We don’t care about the living and run out of damns for giving.
It’s the business of war and business is booming right along.
