Malvina Reynolds - I Know When Ive Done Wrong Lyrics

I know when I've done wrong, but there are some
Who never have such trouble with their fun,
They never have the blues,
There's a magic word they use:
That's the way business is done.

I know when I've done mischief to my friends,
I can evaluate the means and ends,
But there are those who say,
When thinking comes their way:
Stockholders have to have their dividends.

I know when I've done wrong, that's why I'm gray,
But knowing doesn't help me change my way,
I'll have to memorize
That formula so wise:
The market's going higher every day.

I know when I've done wrong, but there are some
Who never have such trouble with their fun,
They never have the blues,
There's a magic word they use:
That's the way business is done.
