"The Business of Forgiveness"

Suit and tie, your suit to die
Your birthday suit is hung up dry
And fried in the Egyptian sun
To stand before the Sanhedrin
And eye to eye with executives
Who execute your relatives
And all who keep your practices
Your business, they don't practice it

To all the humble and the proud
A stumbling block placed in the crowd
They'll either fall or follow it
Based upon their prerequisites
Of self awareness or self esteem
If they subscribe to the lie of the pyramid scheme
Up the corporate ladder of success
A stairway to heaven without forgiveness

You're in the business
You're in the business of forgiveness
You're in the business
You're in the business of forgiveness

A not so casual good Friday
Saw a failing company, said "let's try it my way"
Throwing rocks at the business model that you made
A code of conduct for the world and the working place
At our nine to fives, eyes on the ticking clock
Signs of the times and the dipping stocks
He who has not wasted company time
Take your spot at the front of the unemployment line

You're in the business
You're in the business of forgiveness
You're in the business
You're in the business of forgiveness

The Chief Executive Officer
Stepped down from his position to make a peace offer
To all the wicked ways of the working man
Demoted himself to promote us in
Took a pay cut so that we could all have jobs
So we wouldn't sit at home like ungrateful slobs
So pick up your cross, cause it's a team project
Got a complaint with the boss then feel free to lodge it
And work through the sick days to earn vacation hours
Incentives redeemed, unseen that won't sour
Cause we've all been malpracticers convicted of fraud
But we've been bought out by a holy God
