[Intro]
\nLie, cheat, and steal
\n(For real… the deal)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nTurn on the screen, another show
\nAnother deal we ought to know
\nA golden promise, a flashing sign
\nA little hustle dressed up fine<\/p>\n
The headlines spin, the numbers fly
\nThe truth gets buried in the why
\nAnd if you think it’s all okay
\nJust watch the money slip away<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nFollow the dollars, follow the trail
\nListen close when the stories fail
\nWhen the smoke clears, look around
\nWho’s standing tall? Who’s going down?<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nIn case your head is in a cloud
\n(I’ll let it be said out loud)
\nHe can grift more in a single day
\n(Than all presidents in history)<\/p>\n
Did you hear what I have to say?
\n(It really isn’t a mystery)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nSell the dream and sell the name
\nTurn every setback into blame
\nMake a fortune from the fuss
\nThen tell the crowd it’s good for us<\/p>\n
A brand, a bargain, a grand parade
\nAnother promise that won’t be made
\nThe rules are different when you’re king
\nAnd every failure’s someone else’s thing<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nFollow the money, follow the claims
\nWatch the profits, watch the games
\nWhen the facts refuse to bend
\nThe spin begins again, again<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nIn case your head is in a cloud
\n(I’ll let it be said out loud)
\nHe can grift more in a single day
\n(Than all presidents in history)<\/p>\n
Did you hear what I have to say?
\n(It really isn’t a mystery)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nIt’s not a question of red or blue
\nIt’s what they sell and what is true
\nWho pays the price? Who gets the prize?
\nWho’s cashing in before our eyes?<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nIn case your head is in a cloud
\n(We’re saying it out loud)
\nFollow the money, follow the play
\n(Ask who’s winning every day)<\/p>\n
Did you hear what I have to say?
\n(The facts are there for all to weigh)
\nNo smoke and mirrors, no mystery
\n(Just accountability)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nSaid out loud…
\n(Said out loud)
\nNo more hiding in the crowd<\/p>\n
Said out loud…
\n(Said out loud)
\nTruth is stronger than being proud<\/p>\n
Now are you starting to see…
\n(It really isn’t a mystery)<\/p>\n
