Quid Pro Quo

from Quid Pro Quo by Monty O'Blivion

lyrics

Cherrypick from a rotten tree
Court TV got a hold on me
Sunday best, blemish-free
Foamy mouth of a district attorney
Need a witch to burn, had a shitty year
Got case that’ll make her career
The media hounds catch the scent
This one’s gonna pay the rent

Spectators binge on dopamine
Purge opinions and kerosine
Prime time crime, don’t read an excerpt
Just a headline now I’m an expert
Companies fight for the advertising
Everybody’s monetizing
Satisfy our bloodlust
With a righteousness so lustrous

Quid Pro Quo
How deep does it go?
Quid Pro Quo
Deeper than you’ll ever know
Turn the lights down low
It runs the show
Hand on heart, oh, oh
Eyes sewn closed

Politician needs a vote
Lobbyist needs a Judas goat
Auction off legislation
Write it off as a donation
It’s gonna trickle up just wait and see
They’re gonna rise up like mercury
Tear gas, an American tradition
Like pre-existing conditions

Panic button on the mayor’s desk
Non-lethal rounds leave you a mess
Secret police kick down the door
Secure the homeland from the poor
It’s not a rotten year, it’s a rotten state
It always was, you found out too late
Now you’re locked there in the stocks
And the tanks are coming round the block

Quid Pro Quo
How deep does it go?
Quid Pro Quo
Deeper than you’ll ever know
Turn the lights down low
It runs the show
Hand on heart, oh, oh
Eyes sewn closed
