Lyrics
Payola
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's just a matter of losing and everyday I saw a thing
I saw the look on his face, I saw him go without a trace
No surprise, no screams, no delivery, no one seems
Everybody knows
But that's the way it always goes
Just keep looking with your eyes closed
Payola, payola, payola-la-la
Payola, payola, payola-la-la
Try to keep your riches going, try to keep your business clean
Find a reason at all, things ain't what they seem
I've got something, something to hide
Go for a run and go for a ride
And I thought I heard you say
There isn't any other way
Some fun got in the way
Payola, payola, payola-la-la
Payola, payola, payola-la-la
Payola, payola, payola-la-la
Payola, payola, payola-la-la
