[Intro – spoken, confident PR tone] Ladies and gentlemen… We appreciate your concern. We take these matters very seriously. Now, if there are no further questions… [Verse 1] Flashbulbs popping down the hall Careful footsteps, scripted call Lawyers whisper stage directions Truth reduced to small corrections Paper statements freshly pressed Buttons closed across the chest Every sentence polished bright Nothing here to see tonight [Pre-Chorus] Lower the lights Straighten the tie Rewrite the ending Before they ask why [Chorus] Damage control Keep the cameras rolling Damage control Watch the story folding Damage control Every answer smooth and vague Smile for the front page Damage control [Verse 2] Strategic pause, a careful grin Spin the wheel and let it spin Blame the weather, blame the file Blame the intern for a while Microphones like silver spears Questions circling in our ears Step by step we dodge the flame Nobody remembers names [Pre-Chorus] Lower the tone Soften the blow Call it confusion Nobody will know [Chorus] Damage control Keep the narrative glowing Damage control Watch the headlines slowing Damage control Every promise thin as smoke Just another careful joke Damage control [Bridge – heavier, sarcastic swagger] Confusion here Regret declared Lessons learned Prepared statement shared If it happened We’ll review If it didn’t So will you [Break – spoken, calm PR voice] We deeply regret… Any misunderstanding. [Final Chorus – big stadium energy] Damage control Keep the engines humming Damage control Hear the silence drumming Damage control Every polished word rehearsed Nothing broken, nothing cursed Damage control Damage control [Outro – spoken] Thank you for your patience. The matter is now… Closed.
