If I work real hard, 'til I break my back
Maybe I can improve to the point,
Of almost being mediocre
And I don't mean to act bipolar

But that's just a scientific word
For people who are frustrated beyond reason
And can't decide for the life of them
Whether they should be angry or upset

(Chorus)
This is a business
Like anything else
I used to see something
That simply wasn't there

(Chorus)
This is a business
Like anything else
I used to see something
That simply wasn't there

Beating my head against the wall
And I want to be violent
Not from hatred, nor ignorance
But from utter disenchantment

Maybe breaking something beautiful
Would make me feel better
If caring meant success
Maybe things would be different

(Chorus)
This is a business
Like anything else
I used to see something
That simply wasn't there

(Chorus)
This is a business
Like anything else
I used to see something
That simply wasn't there

Yes, if caring meant success
Maybe things would be different
Too bad that's not the case
So I'm left to rot away

My brains can't save me now
All those tests that said I'm smart
Gave me hope that I could do anything
But being smart isn't everything

(Chorus)
This is a business
Like anything else
I used to see something
That simply wasn't there

(Chorus)
This is a business
Like anything else
I used to see something
That simply wasn't there

(Bridge)
I've been trying to talk with a broken tongue
My message will be silenced, before the night is through
As I realize I've been pissing away my time
For something that never had a chance at all...

(Chorus)
This is a business
Like anything else
I used to see something
That simply wasn't there

(Chorus)
This is a business
Like anything else
I used to see something
That simply wasn't there
