From the recording Soup Du Jour
Lyrics
Men with ties, men with ties
Rule from offices in the skies
Bottom lines
And dollar signs in their eyes
Men with ties, men with ties
Big white mouths telling little white lies
But it’s good for business
Especially his mess, so he justifies
It’s the attire
That they require at the top
But you may find
They’re the ties that bind
Men with ties, men with ties
Making deals they deem wise
Running guns
From Washington in disguise
Men with ties, men with ties
Take the stand with alibis
Just last fall
He can not recall or just denies
In this club for the well-dressed male
We’re never sure what is said
Behind these men there’s a paper-trail
That they’re trying very hard to shred
Men with ties, men with ties
Often fall, but again rise
For lecture tours
And talk-show boors to advertise
Men with ties, men with ties
Trying hard to revise
What we thought
Should have brought about their demise
