Lyrics

[Verse 1] What's to understand, I'm a business man With a pen in my hand, won't you tell me where to sign And I'll help you if I can If it takes a hundred grand I got money in the bank, got money to spank Don't think nothing of it cause the profit is my thanks, and you're thick as two short planks I'm a general commanding the ranks, sir [Chorus] Oh, I say the way you live your life It leaves a lot to be desired When I count all the ways you've tried to live a better life You never seem to get it right [Verse 2] What's to understand, I'm a teaching man With a pen in my hand, gonna write a lesson plan And I'll help you if I can If it takes a whole lifetime And nothing personal to you, but I will assess you, three times a year and in your annual review And I'll make you see the truth You learn nothing from life except from that in which you do [Chorus] Oh, I say the way you live your life It leaves a lot to be desired When I count all the ways you've tried to live a better life You never seem to get it right [Bridge] What's to understand, I'm a gangster man With my gun in my hand gonna kill you where you stand Just to get what's in your hand I will do whatever I can [Chorus] Oh, I say the way you live your life It leaves a lot to be desired When I count all the ways you've tried to live a better life You never seem to get it right I'm sailing out to sea
