jesse welles – payola lyrics
[verse 1]
well i really don’t care if i ain’t western as f+ck
cause i don’t wear a hat and a don’t drive a truck
i’ve made everything but a living
my voice has gotten used
and i ain’t selling my soul for a couple of views
[refrain]
payola for thee
payola for playlists, blue checkmarks, and follows and streams
we’ll licence your song
give ya 60 percent
we’ll advance you some dough so ya got money to spend
put it all toward the motion
when she blows up big
high five our fat asses with our 40 percent
[payola for thee
payola for playlists with checkmarks and follows and streams]
(31723453)
[verse 2]
there are folks in the business no older than me
that ain’t ever done nothing but e+mail
and drinkin’ the coke in the kitchen
it ain’t coca cola, and swear and declare
payola payola
[refrain]
payola for thee
brought to you by nepotism
and veiled in authority
payola for thee
is the wizard of oz
and the curtains of do re me me me
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
i ain’t ever been viral
but i’ve had the flu
it was hard to monetize
but i made it through
when the ‘rona came
and the labels went home
we went back to starbucks
they took ppp loans
[refrain]
payola for thee
payola for playlists, blue checkmarks, and follows and streams
payola for thee
is the wizard of oz
and the curtains of do re me me me
[verse 4]
from the cowboy cosplay of music city
to the la cyborgs of new york pretties
austin city’s got no limit on empty dreams
it’s all bought and paid for
it ain’t what it seems
[refrain]
payola for thee
it’s the vending machine of music industry
payola for thee
is the wizard of oz
and the curtains of do re me me me
[bridge]
its a shallow money trench
thompson’s correct
sail through an ocean of sh+t
and ya still get wrecked
[refrain]
payola for thee
brought to you by nepotism
and veiled in authority
payola for thee
it’s the vending machine of music industry
payola for thee
is the wizard of oz
and the curtains of doe ray me me me
