The Business Enterprise My Friend John by Those Nervous Animals Lyrics

My friend John had a plan
He said he would never go away again
He stayed up every night
Just to get the detail right
He said, 'when you got a plan
Ya gotta put your best shot in'
So I heard him out and made a committment
There was apathy in me
Nothing seemed worth doing
In the day to day routine, I had no time to eat
So I stayed home all day, a powerhouse inside me
I'd sweep the floor, I'd set the clock, and wait for the impossible
My friend John, don't you know its hard for me
My friend John, I think you got yourself a deal
I like the sound of this business enterprise
I like the sound of this business enterprise
John was strong, I went along
I gave his dream a chance
When he turned the fields from brown to green
Our heads were full of romance
But belief can only go so far
You need the killer instinct to go all the way
I had to say, 'Let's make a new arrangement'
My friend John, don't you know its hard for me
My friend John, I think you got yourself a deal
I like the sound of this business enterprise
I like the sound of this business enterprise
See the brown ground under the green
See the brown ground under the green
See the brown ground under the green
See the brown ground under the green
