Risk Is My Business... And Business Is Risky
Dance Club Massacre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A new Monday night war is upon us, my friends. Six men will partake in unmerciful tyranny. A single roll to see who will draw the first blood. This is the new apocalypse.
Striving to link empires as the game ensues. Allies will be formed and broken. In due time there will be total eliminations.
In this case guitar hero is set up in limbo. I shall survive. Brazil has been touched and gotten by the North African bridge. Now...Alaska to Kamtchatka you asshole. Alaska to Kamchatka. I'm on a hot roll.
The champagne awaits the fall of your campaign.
My friend, my enemy for a day.
Defense is key, but with out guts comes no glory.
In this case, its Global Guts.
Mike O'Malley will tell ya, I've got the the know how, the power. Upon the top of the agrokrag, I've stood victorious.
The Ukraine is not weak. Ukraine is not feeble. Backed into a corner of death. Fighting off every front that surrounds me.
No guts no glory.
Fighting, rolling, split up the seeds, reform in cavalry. Fighting, rolling spread the disease. Power in numbers prevails overseas.
Fighting, rolling, split up the seeds, reform in cavalry. Fighting, rolling, spread the disease, spill your guts
The song "Risk Is My Business... And Business Is Risky" by Dance Club Massacre is a commentary on the world's obsession with power and domination. The lyrics speak of a world divided by colors and the only objective is to dominate it. The song depicts a new Monday night war where six men will partake in unmerciful tyranny to see who will draw the first blood. The game is on and global domination is the ultimate goal.
As the game ensues, allies will be formed and broken. In due time, there will be total eliminations, and the player who survives till the end will emerge as the winner. The lyrics also reference the game Guitar Hero, where the player is set up in limbo, striving to link empires. The game seems to have no end in sight, 'cause business is risky, and risks come with rewards.
