Hush Money Songtext
von Lake Street Dive

You tell the people and the papers what they oughta believe
You wave a shiny metal object where you want ′em to see
But there's a flame and I, I saw you fan it
All while you′re saying that you'd save the planet
And now you want us to be quiet, you won't get it for free

So let me get some of that hush money
Get, yeah, yeah, yeah (′cause I got bills to pay)
So let me get some of that hush money
Get, get, yeah, yeah, yeah (′cause I got things to say)

You think you're charming, it′s alarming
Just how blind you are
You got a smarmy little army of pint-sized czars, yeah
Can't win the game, so you a-plan to throw it
But I got a whistle and I think I′ll blow it
And now you want me to be quiet
You won't get there for free, yeah


So let me get some of that hush money
Get, yeah, yeah, yeah (′cause I got bills to pay)
So let me get some of that hush money
Get, get, get, get ('cause I got things to say)
So let me get some of that hush money
Get, yeah, get ('cause I got pills to take)
Oh, let me get some of that hush money
Get, get, get, yeah, yeah, yeah (′cause I got things to say)

You think that silence is a thing that can be bought and sold
But when the money runs out the truth′ll be told

So let me get some of that hush money
Get, get, get, get, yeah ('cause I got bills to pay)
So let me get some of that hush money
Get, get, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (′cause I got things to say)
So let me get some of that hush money
Get, yeah, yeah, yeah ('cause I got pills to take)
So let me get some of that hush money
Get, get, yeah, yeah, yeah (′cause I got things to say)
