Bad Businessman Lyrics
There's a man going around in this town selling lies.
He's the bad businessman
And the mess he sells is bad
And the mess he leaves is sad.
He's a clown
That's going to get bounced around
If he don't keep his business underground.
He's a player
But every time he deals a round
It's a bad hand
What a bad man.
Beware of what he sells.
It's shooting you straight to hell.
"Tain't no bottom in that wishing well.
Bad businessman.
He's the bad businessman
And the mess he sells is bad
And the mess he leaves is sad.
He's a clown
That's going to get bounced around
If he don't keep his business underground.
He's a player
But every time he deals a round
It's a bad hand
What a bad man.
Beware of what he sells.
It's shooting you straight to hell.
"Tain't no bottom in that wishing well.
Bad businessman.

I love everything about SNZ - I've got three of their albums, and am still looking. They've got the crazy pre-swing sound that just makes you jump. Bad businessman has you shivering at how slimy the dude is
I heard that this song was about a particular person who had spread a rumor that he had been SNZ's weed dealer. He was indeed a drug dealer, but according to them, not theirs.
The person spoken of in this song reminds me of Voltaire, the musician. Not that he's bad, I like him a lot.
But it reminds me of his song, "When You're Evil". :D
