lyrics
What's to understand, I'm a business man, 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
Money in the bank, got money to spank
Don't think nothing of it cos the profit is my thanks, and you're thick as two short planks
I'm a general commanding the ranks, sir.
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.
What's to understand, I'm a teaching man, 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.
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.
I'm sailing out to sea.
And I'll help you if I can
If it takes a hundred grand
Money in the bank, got money to spank
Don't think nothing of it cos the profit is my thanks, and you're thick as two short planks
I'm a general commanding the ranks, sir.
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.
What's to understand, I'm a teaching man, 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.
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.
I'm sailing out to sea.

What a damn solid record! It's the perfect example of why I'm certain that Ska Punk is going to play on the highlight reel when I hit up the afterlife.
