lyrics

CORNELIUS JONG
Cornelius Jong bought a tie and started a small business
Within a week moving into negative figures
Bailed out got stoned took a guitar home
Got on the phone started up a band then boom
Ego maniac from front to back
He’s playing every damn shack from aardvark to zouk
Success excess and celebration enough to bring up the puke
They call him John the duke when asked for his review
That compliment I honest
Realised I was fishing when I caught it
Besides its none of your business, strictly business
Can you see yourself in its windows
Business strictly business
Lining them up to be drowned in the fountain of youth
So back to Corny’s success being compared with the best
Being showered with towers and power praised by the hour
Symptomatic of a culture with a hunger to worship
Gravitate towards love to compensate for the lack of it
You gotta, we gotta
Unfinished business, strictly business
Can you see yourself in its windows
Do you wanna be a pop star puppet?
Join the celebrity pantheon today
Strictly business when you’re
Lining them up to be drowned in the fountain of youth
I gotta compensate for you compensate for you right now
Business strictly business
Lining them up to be drowned in the fountain of youth
Put in your portfolio
Now
