please answer question by reading this song
"Business Goes on As Usual"
Business goes on as usual
the corn and the profits are high
and TVs boom in every living room
they tell us what deodorants to buy
Business goes on as usual
except that my brother is dead
he was 25 and very much alive
but the dreams have all been blasted
from his head
In a far off land,
with a gun in his hand
he died in a war
he did not understand
while business goes on
as usual
there's plenty to choose from the racks
but rumor goes that the latest thing in clothes
the latest thing in clothes will be black
but business goes on as usual
as usual
as usual
1. what does she mean that the latest thing in clothes is black? what does the color black symbolize in this song?
2. how does song and story effect your understanding of war? does it broaden your understanding? does it change your feeling about war? if so, in what way?
3. what is the overall tone of "business goes on as usual"?
