CAPO: 1st FRET
[Intro]
G7 G7
[Verse]
G7Well I really don't care if I ain't western as fuck
G'Cause I don't wear a hat and I don't drive a truck
CI made everything but a living
GMy voice gotten used
G7I ain't selling my soul for a couple of views
[Chorus]
CPayola for thee
CPayola for playlist
G7But check my hearts and follows and streams
[Verse]
G7Well license you sung will give you 60 percent
Will advance you some dough so you got money to spend
CPut it all toward promotion when she blows up
N.C.
Big high five, her fat ass is worth her 40 percent
[Chorus]
CPayola for thee
CPayola for playlist
G7 G7 G7 G7But check my hearts and follows and streams
[Verse]
G7There are folks in the business no older than me
That ain't never done nothing but email and drink
C7And the Coke in the kitchen it ain't Coca-Cola
G7And they'll swear and declare (snort)
[Chorus]
N.C C
Payola, payola, payola for thee
C G7Brought to you by nepotism and veiled in authority
C CPayola for thee is the Wizard Of Oz
G G7And the curtains, the Do re mi, mi, mi
[Instrumental]
G7 G7 C7 G7 C C C7 G7 C C7 G7 G7
[Verse]
G7I ain't never been viral but I've had the flu
It was hard to monetize but I made it through
N.C. C7
And when the 'Rona' came and the labels went home
G N.C.
We went back to Starbucks they took PPP loans
[Chorus]
CPayola for thee
CPayola for playlist
G7But check my hearts and follows and streams
C CPayola for thee is the Wizard Of Oz
G G7And the curtains, the Do re mi, mi, mi
[Verse]
G7And the cowboy cosplay of Music City
To the LA cyborgs and New York pretty's
C7 GAustin City's got no limit for DMT dreams
G7It's all bought and paid for
N.C.
It ain't all as it seems
[Chorus]
C CPayola for thee it's a vending machine
G7Of the music industry
C CPayola for thee is the Wizard OF Oz
G7And the curtains, the Do re mi
[Break]
N.C.
It's a shallow money trench, Thompson's correct
So through an ocean of shit and you still get wrecked
[Chorus]
C CAnd payola for thee brought to you by nepotism
G7And veiled in authority
C C GPayola for thee is a vending machine
G7Of the music industry
C CPayola for thee is the Wizard OF Oz
G7 G7 G7 G7And the curtains, the Do re mi, mi, mi
