A Peace Plan with a Price Tag
It’s sold in the fine print, hidden from the light, Foreign money on the table, while they swear they’re doin’ right.
[Intro]
Yeah… mmh.
[Verse 1]
They meet behind closed doors, late night in a quiet room,
Talkin’ ’bout “peace” like a business, while the bad deals bloom.
Suit coats, steady smiles, pens scratchin’ slow,
But the truth ain’t on the mic where the people can know.
[Chorus]
It’s sold in the fine print, hidden from the light,
Foreign money on the table, while they swear they’re doin’ right.
And the news just rolls on like it’s nothin’ at all,
But a country starts breakin’ when the watchdogs don’t bark.
Yeah, peace shouldn’t pay—
But it’s sold in the fine print anyway.
[Verse 2]
Used to be a scandal just to take a gift,
Now they take the whole store and call it “how we live.”
Folks get tired, shrug their shoulders, turn the channel quick,
But the crooks get stronger every time we let it slip.
[Chorus]
It’s sold in the fine print, hidden from the light,
Foreign money on the table, while they swear they’re doin’ right.
And the news just rolls on like it’s nothin’ at all,
But a country starts breakin’ when the watchdogs don’t bark.
Yeah, peace shouldn’t pay—
But it’s sold in the fine print anyway.
[Bridge]
This ain’t left or right, it’s wrong in a suit,
It’s power gettin’ bought with a polished-up truth.
If we don’t raise hell, they’ll do it again…
And again.
[Final Chorus]
It’s sold in the fine print, hidden from the light,
Foreign money on the table, while they swear they’re doin’ right.
And the news just rolls on like it’s nothin’ at all,
But a country starts dyin’ when the watchdogs don’t bark.
Yeah, peace shouldn’t pay—
But it’s sold in the fine print anyway.
[Outro]
Mm. Yeah.
