Bean Bounting

 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
