Business
Biohazard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me what is good for me and my career
Fuck you and your selfish advice
You've never been loyal to the same things twice
In your sheltered little lives, you don't know the scene
Doing as you're told, puppets of the big machine
Changing faces, revolving door hypocrisy
Who do you work for now, yeah, I see
[Chorus I:]
Music's for you and me
Not the fucking industry
You fucking tell us what is cool
You see we came from different schools
You got no crowd but you got a big push
Kissing asses till your pride turns into mush
You might change your style for the record company
Fingers down your throat, you heave your integrity
You're weak, give it up, throw the towel and the flag in
And get your pussy ass of the motherfuckin' bandwagon
Never for a minute were you real in the first place
So far up someone's ass you got shit on your face
[Chorus II:]
Music's for you and me
Not the fucking industry
You fucking tell us what is cool
You see we came from different schools
To us it matters what you say
Not the fucking games you play
You're full of shit, it's plain to see
The whole damn fucking indrusty
If you think for a minute this song's about you
Step the fuck back, 'cause it's probably true
The message in the music is the reason that we're in this
Music is for you and me, not the fucking industry
Try to tell us what is cool, we came from different schools
It only matters what you say, not the fuckin' games you play
Full of shit, it's plain to see, the whole damn fuckin' industry
[Chorus II]
The lyrics of Biohazard's song "Business" criticize the music industry and the people who control it. The singer is fed up with receiving selfish advice from those who have never remained faithful to their beliefs. In their sheltered lives, they know nothing about the music scene and are puppets of the big machine. Those in control change faces and exhibit revolving door hypocrisy. The singer can see that they do not work for a single cause, but are constantly switching their allegiance to their personal gain.
The chorus of the song, which is repeated twice, highlights the message that music is meant for everyone, not just for the industry. The individuals within the music industry are not the decision-makers who dictate what is cool or what the listeners should appreciate. The singer believes that it is their words that matter, not the games played by the industry. They criticize the industry for being full of crap and losing their integrity.
"Business" is a song that highlights the frustrations of artists with the music industry. It is a song that voices the struggle of trying to maintain artistic integrity while pleasing the corporate industry. It voices the struggle of remaining true to one's beliefs and principles, instead of accepting superficial gains.

I'm fed up, I've had it up to there
I'm at my limit and I'm tired of it
Tell me what is good for me and my career
Stop trying to tell me what to do and trying to control my career
Fuck you and your selfish advice
I don't want your advice because it's only focused on benefiting you
You've never been loyal to the same things twice
You have a history of constantly changing your opinions and beliefs
In your sheltered little lives, you don't know the scene
You don't understand the scene and culture that I come from because you live a sheltered life
Doing as you're told, puppets of the big machine
You're just following orders from the larger, controlling entity
Changing faces, revolving door hypocrisy
You change your beliefs and opinions so often that it's hard to take you seriously
Who do you work for now, yeah, I see
I can see that you're only looking out for yourself and whoever will benefit you the most at the moment
Music's for you and me
Music should be for everyone, not just those in the industry
Not the fucking industry
The industry shouldn't be the sole focus of music
You fucking tell us what is cool
You try to control what we think is cool
You see we came from different schools
We have different backgrounds and experiences that shape our opinions
You got no crowd but you got a big push
You may not have a following, but you have the backing of those in the industry
Kissing asses till your pride turns into mush
You're willing to do whatever it takes to please those in power and it's making you lose your integrity
You might change your style for the record company
You'll alter your music to fit the preferences of the record company
Fingers down your throat, you heave your integrity
You're purposely getting rid of your integrity to please those in power
You're weak, give it up, throw the towel and the flag in
You're not strong enough to stick to your beliefs and should just give up
And get your pussy ass of the motherfuckin' bandwagon
Stop following the trends and just be true to yourself
Never for a minute were you real in the first place
You've never been true to yourself and your beliefs
So far up someone's ass you got shit on your face
You're so focused on pleasing those in power that you're getting shit on yourself in the process
To us it matters what you say
Your words and opinions matter to us
Not the fucking games you play
We're not interested in the games and politics of the industry
Full of shit, it's plain to see
You're not being truthful and it's easy to see
The whole damn fucking industry
The entire music industry is corrupt and focused on money and power
If you think for a minute this song's about you
If you feel like this song is directed towards you
Step the fuck back, 'cause it's probably true
Take a step back and realize that it may be true
The message in the music is the reason that we're in this
The reason we make music is to convey a message and speak our truth
Try to tell us what is cool, we came from different schools
We have different influences and our own idea of what's cool
It only matters what you say, not the fuckin' games you play
Your words and actions are what's important, not the politics of the industry
Full of shit, it's plain to see, the whole damn fuckin' industry
The music industry is corrupt and focused on power, not the music or the message
