You're beautiful more beautiful than me 
You're honorable more honorable than me 
Loyal to the Bank of America 

It's a sign of the times 
It's a sign of the times 

You're sharpening stones walking on coals 
To improve your business acumen
Sharpening stones walking on coals 
To improve your business acumen

Vested interest united ties landed gentry rationalize 
Look who bought the myth by jingo buy America 

It's a sign of the times 
It's a sign of the times 

You're sharpening stones, walking on coals 
To improve your business acumen
Sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen

Enemy sighted, enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik 
Look who bought the myth, by jingo, buy America 

"Let us not assassinate this man further, Senator
You've done enough
Have you no sense of decency, sir? 
At long last, have you left no sense of decency?" 

We're sharpening stones, walking on coals 
To improve your business acumen
Sharpening stones, walking on coals
To improve your business acumen

Enemy sighted, enemy met, I'm addressing the realpolitik 
You've seen start and you've seen quit 
(I'm addressing the table of content) 
I always thought of you as quick 
Exhuming McCarthy 
(Meet me at the book burning) 
Exhuming McCarthy 
(Meet me at the book burning)
