The business of disregard

A business of caring is endlessly staring at points on a graph
With stipulations and notions to keep our emotions away from the math
So please check your balance ahead of your pulse to see which is which
When it comes down to sickness, if caring was business, we'd all strike it rich

A penny saved is a penny earned and we all know times they are hard
This is one of the things you learn on the business end
Of the business of disregard

A function of assets sits up in the cabinets on top of your sink
So don't expect no remittance when there is no difference between blood and red ink
So if you get sick you better hope they march right quick for you

A life saved is a dollar drowned and we all got to keep what we can
I think you'll find if you hang around that just because they say you're covered
It doesn't mean that you're in good hands
A penny saved is a penny earned and we all know times they are hard
This is one of the things you learn on the business end
Of the business of disregard

(All the king's horses and all the king's men will never ever put you back together again)
