Annie's pushin' dope on the sidewalk
Bennie's fencing gear with his smooth talk
Cops are on the take
There's bodies in the lake
It's always been the same
For hell and heaven's sake
That's just the way we do business down here
Fat old cats enjoyin' the high life
Politician's hidin' his jackknife
They're smashin' through your door
Ain't no mercy for the poor
It's never gonna change
So get used to jungle law
That's just the way we do business down here
Down here
You might dream of beaches and blue skies
Headin' north in a new Chevrolet
Hey buddy open up your eyes
Then realize
You're locked in 'til your dyin' day
That's just the way we do business down here
Word is out you've come into good times
A pay-off for all of your hard crimes
Here's some free advice
I'm gonna say it nice
Those guys on the corner
Won't be askin' you twice
That's just the way we do business down here
That's just the way we do business down here
Just the way we do business down here
The way we do business down here
Down here
