Quid Pro Quo

[Hook] [Verse] Dark deals in the night Hidden from the light Whispers in the halls Silent curtain calls (ho!) [Interlude] [Melodic Bridge] Promises were made In exchange for aid Guns-for-cash, a simple deal [Sing chant] This their game; how surreal! [Rhythmic Pre-Chorus] The lies revealed! Shady deals now unsealed! [Chorus] Behind closed doors Secrets that create uproar For interests' sake Left a scandal in its wake (oh!) (oh oh oh!) (scan-dal in-its wake!) [Break, Intense] [Rhythmic Verse] Confidence in shreds Fine lines that cannot thread The looming lies [Sing chant] Undisguised! [Rhythmic Break] [Bridge] Contras deal in coke In Iran a hatred stokes Minor details rest assured! Guns-for-cash? [Sing chant] Grease the wheel! [Break, Melodic] [Chorus] Behind closed doors Backroom deals which now out-pour The power play! Left a scandal in its wake (oh!) (oh oh oh!)) (scan-dal in-its wake!) [Bridge, Sombre, Slow] Trust now in shreds Lies that weave a web Without disguise Right before our eyes (oh) (oh oh oh!) (right before our eyes!) [break, whistling] [Bridge, Sombre, Slow] Trust now in shreds Lies that weave a web Without disguise Right before our eyes (oh) (oh oh oh!) (right before our eyes!) [break, whistling] [Bridge, Angry] What did he know? [Angry Chant] (quid-pro-quo!) When did he know it? [Angry Chant] (never ad-mit!) [Interlude] [Rhythmic Chorus] Behind closed doors Hostages are not ignored Weapons we gave Yet they still remain unsaved! [Break]) (oh!) (oh oh oh!) [Break, Horns, Whistling] [Verse] [Angry Sing chant] Over a deal So sur-real! [End] (*Whistle*)
