BEAN COUNTING
I
A bean counting suit with a mission in hand
Cutting costs at any cost is the collective plan
Crunching numbers and balance sheets
Probing accounts and reviewing receipts
II
With numbers and graphs vital decisions are made
With no thought of the human element portrayed
Emotionless operations are just black and white
They see no wrong and they see no right
III
With character under fire they file their dispute
Facts kept under wrap to keep a positive repute
Which cost less the recall or the litigation?
Protecting their bottom line is their anticipation
IV
Using legal maneuvers to increase their returns
Industry practices raise ethical concerns
Can ethics and profit ever coincide?
Or will it push common decency aside
Chorus
Profit over people is their bottom line
The monetary value of life is what they define
A false scents of caring is the disguise they display
Droves of faceless people all lead astray
