Page 238 – Corporate Familiars

[Intro] Bright lights, clean suits, quiet slander Money moves faster than a news cycle can handle. [Verse 1] Eisner, insider, fiber-optic private lines, Silent signers slide the binder, tie the dotted lines. Country-club summers, caddies in designer brims, Silverado fairways where the favors hide the sins. Nonprofit signage, photo-ops and smiling kids, Charity dinners, chairmen grinning everybody bids. Press shots polished, policy in powder rooms, Paper blooms the budget blooms the truth consumed. [Hook] Daylight deals with the midnight manners, Logos glow while the numbers do damage. Suit-tail swagger and the brand stays stainless, Corporate familiars they move like they’re nameless. Daylight deals with the midnight manners, Handshakes land while the contracts vanish. Smile for the camera, keep the balance sheets painless, Corporate familiars they move like they’re nameless. [Verse 2] Ovitz over it? Never soldier cadence, bold advances, Foot-soldier phrasing, folded plans in coded stanzas. MSG message in a package, “Bon appétit,” Bronfman leverage pressure points beneath the suite. Katzenberg catalogs the color codes the screens obey, Mickey-ear merchandise monetized the weekday play. Programmed palettes, palettes programmed, reel in place, Chromed out palettes, analyst ballots seal the case. [Hook] Daylight deals with the midnight manners, Logos glow while the numbers do damage. Suit-tail swagger and the brand stays stainless, Corporate familiars they move like they’re nameless. Daylight deals with the midnight manners, Handshakes land while the contracts vanish. Smile for the camera, keep the balance sheets painless, Corporate familiars they move like they’re nameless. [Verse 3] Rich Frank, bank rank laundering lanes and label tricks, Safra wire, brittle bills Medellín to Bay bridges. Bearer bond baritone, Luxembourg the paper throne, Citicorp cylinders spinning world notes they place and own. Napa vintages percentages with counterfeit credentials, Decanted scandals in the candles tasting notes defer essentials. Press release relief a toast to posts that sold the feel, But the finer print is where the spin reveals the deal. [Bridge] (DJ cuts: “follow the money… follow the money…”) Sunroof open, skyline humming, Neon honest the ledgers are cunning. [Verse 4] Frank Wells rotor chalk on mountain air the record stands, Rhodes path, board stamps, legalese in measured hands. Scripps lists whispers, appellations, invitation pour, Chappellet conversations, vintners, patrons, velvet doors. Osmond aura chorus wholesome, showroom glow, Handler quotas, coded poses, family show. Front-row halo, payroll halos, stagecraft tight, Back-line payload, plain clothes say so same old price. [Hook] Daylight deals with the midnight manners, Logos glow while the numbers do damage. Suit-tail swagger and the brand stays stainless, Corporate familiars they move like they’re nameless. Daylight deals with the midnight manners, Handshakes land while the contracts vanish. Smile for the camera, keep the balance sheets painless, Corporate familiars they move like they’re nameless. [Outro] Black cat crossing the conference table, Luck looks legal when the clause is stable. Sun on chrome, city hum seamless, Corporate familiars they move like they’re nameless.
