John Starling - Cold Hard Business Lyrics

Slick Talkin' Ring wearin' Business man,
Sittin' ‘cross the desk with a pen in his hand,
said sign here boy I promise you fortune and fame.
Well he gave me a dollar and he took my song,
I'm still hungry it's been way too long,
while he's gettin' fat for another sucker playin' his game.

It's a cold hard business,
It's a cold hard business,
(Tacit line)
But it'll come around.

Bridge into next verse

Low life Husband on a cheatin spree,
Left his wife cryin' with a baby to feed,
But he didn't feel nothin, had to have his fun.
Well he gave himself a Shackin' had a runnin' good time,
It all fell into it's the end of the line,
Died from a cold steel blast of a jealous gun.

It's a cold hard business,
It's a cold hard business,
It's a cold hard business,
But it'll come around.

Well you think you can run,
You think you can hide,
Think can get away with a pack of lies,
It'll come from a bottle come from a gun,
It'll come fallin' down it's when you think you've won.

Business partner on the road to wealth,
Lyin' to his buddy stealin' from himself,
Never could figure why he didn't have a single friend.
Well you may get wealthy if you don't get caught,
But you'll never buy back the all things you've lost,
It's your Karma baby,
It'll get you in the end.

It's a cold hard business,
It's a cold hard business,
It's a cold hard business,
But it'll come around.

Well you think you can run,
You think you can hide,
Think can get away with a pack of lies,
It'll come from a bottle come from a gun,
It'll come fallin' down it's when you think you've won.

It's a cold hard business,
It's a cold hard business,
It's a cold hard business,
But it'll come around.
