The Cost of Doing Business (What we need is another Starbucks)

[Intro] That’s just the cost of doing business You gotta break a few eggs Along the way [Verse 1] All men are created equal And treated differently accordingly To a set of circumstances Beyond your control Out of control Out of control These roads aren’t going to build themselves We need to get from here to there Doesn’t matter who’s in the way Ambitions are loud and clear So get outta the way Or else [Pre-Chorus] Eminent domain The greater good Sum of the whole Breaking ground Rules are meant To be broken For the ribbon cutting And the wrecking ball [Chorus] Pave the way Progress is coming Like a tidal wave Goodbye And good luck What we need Is another Starbucks That’s the cost of doing business You gotta break a few eggs Along the way [Verse 2] Keeping up with the Joneses The green spaces Are always greener On the opposite side Of the fences Making good neighborhoods Disappear Behind H O A's And gated access [Chorus] Pave the way Progress is coming Like a tidal wave Goodbye And good luck What we need Is another Starbucks That’s the cost of doing business You gotta break a few eggs Along the way [Bridge] There are more people And problems Than solutions We can buy Build Or bribe our way out of Everyone wants a piece Some swallow it whole Not everyone can have The penthouse view [Breakdown] Not everyone can have The penthouse view Darling Not everyone can be The privileged few [Final Chorus] Pave the way Progress is coming Like a tidal wave Goodbye And good luck What we need Is another Starbucks That’s the cost of doing business You gotta break a few eggs Along the way [Outro] All men are created equal And treated differently accordingly That’s just the cost Of doing business
