\nAdvisory\u2026
\n(In name only)
\nPublic record\u2026
\n(Or so we\u2019re told)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
\nFederal statute
\n(Plain and clear)
\nTransparency required
\n(Year by year)
\nBalanced viewpoints
\n(On display)
\nOpen minutes
\n(Of what they say)<\/p>\n
Filed and formed
\n(Behind closed doors)
\nDrafted findings
\n(Policy wars)
\nCited later
\n(To justify)
\nRollbacks written
\n(In black and white)<\/p>\n

\n(That\u2019s the pact)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental \u2014 Angular Guitar Figures]<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nAdvisory in name only
\n(Quietly convened)
\nPublic trust eroding
\n(What does it mean?)
\nIf the record\u2019s hidden
\n(And balance undone)
\nIs it counsel given
\n(Or outcome spun?)<\/p>\n

\nFive assembled
\n(Question the frame)
\nModel disputes
\n(Recurrent refrain)
\nUnsettled science
\n(So they claim)
\nYet policy turns
\n(All the same)<\/p>\n
Coalitions orbit
\n(Network ties)
\nFunding streams
\n(Strategic replies)
\nReports referenced
\n(In legal review)
\nEndangerment weighed
\n(And overruled too)<\/p>\n
[Bridge \u2013 Breakdown]
\n[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
\nTransparency
\n(Balanced view)
\nPublic oversight
\n(Did it occur?)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental \u2014 Guitar Solo, sharper, angular]<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nAdvisory in name only
\n(Quietly convened)
\nPublic trust eroding
\n(What does it mean?)
\nIf the record\u2019s hidden
\n(And balance undone)
\nIs it counsel given
\n(Or outcome spun?)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
