Cost of Doing Business

Planes crash... Cheaper to kill Than fix a problem That costs $600 a plane Do you think our values are ill? Are we all just insane? Wrong prescription filled Patient dies... Pardon us, The fault merely lies In cheaper employees Training incomplete, Cost of correcting?? Well then, We couldn't compete!! Substandard gear For military use.... Saves us billions... Are you obtuse?? How else can we pay $800 a toilet seat $350 for a hammer.... We must compete!!! For every budget dollar... We'll never get enough Why is it you holler?? Ain't you seen our stuff??? We must absorb the cost, Of each General's chest of medals... And ribbons and staff cars are expensive And our supplier only peddles, The finest Admiral's uniforms And that you can easily tell, We put to sea some warships, That don't work quite so well But it looks good on paper, Who'd dare attack us now?? We've got the finest of everything... But, then, again, just how... Can thousands die in Manhattan We fired not a shot And the bastards Who are responsible, Their bill to us "Paid", they've not.
