United Nations Serious Business lyrics

When I was a boy
Things always looked up
Everything the teachers say
??????

I never realized that growing up and becoming a man
Meant growing up and becoming

One mind
????????
At every opportunity I could've stood and said, "I'm sorry"

This song's for my ex-wife
'Cause she knows how hard it is
To love someone
With your hands wrapped tight around a ribbon

Oh, say your goodbyes
????????

This is serious business

This is serious business
This is serious business
This is serious business
This is serious business
This is serious business
This is serious business

This is serious business
If the world's gonna screw you up,
Just remember: It's only a business decision

This is serious business
If I ask to to save a lot,
Just remember: It's only a business decision

This is serious business
If I ask you to save a lot,
Just remember: It's only a business decision
