Payola

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
