about

Business as Usual is an up-tempo Ska-punk song - a rockin' song calling for action on climate change, in the face of the Australian government's inaction - recorded by Rastatrix at Kaleb Treacy's Imocean Studio in Busselton, Western Australia.

lyrics

It’s just bizness – bizness as usual
Only bizness – bizness as usual

It’s such a sad and sorry tale
‘Coz it’s happening on a global scale
From my eye there falls a tear
‘Coz so many hearts are filled with fear
They holding on through fear of lack
They hold our brother sisters back
With another cowardly attack
When instead they could be giving back

But we are gonna turn it ‘round
Before the world starts crashing down

It’s just bizness – bizness as usual
Only bizness – bizness as usual

The shareholders know the score
Each day they’re wanting more and more
They’ve lost it and got filled with greed
So they sit and watch our planet bleed
Their eyes are filled with dollar signs
The dollar is their sign of the times
But they’re missing just one crucial thing
When it’s gone all they’ll have left is bling

But we are gonna turn it ‘round
Before the world starts crashing down

It’s just bizness – bizness as usual
Only bizness – bizness as usual
It’s just bizness – bizness as usual
Only bizness – bizness as usual

But we know there’s a better way
It’s time that the polluter pays
We want our energy so free
Enough for you enough for me
There’s enough to feed each boy and girl
In every nation of the world
All we gotta do is start to care
All we gotta do is start to share

‘Coz we are gonna turn it ‘round
Before the world starts crashing down

It’s just bizness – bizness as usual
Only bizness – bizness as usual
It’s just bizness – bizness as usual
Only bizness – bizness as usual
It’s just bizness
