Everybody Has Their Price

Thirty years in the same place
Working for a living wage
Dreaming of escape
There must be a better way

Then one evening over beers
Opportunity appears
We just need some help
You can help yourself as well

We've got something here
For the connoisseur
If you like it you can have it
Everybody has their price

So they start to reel you in
Token gestures, little things
And you tell yourself
You deserve it after all

And they pull their marker in
We're not asking you to sin
Bend the rules a bit
Tell us what we need to win

It's not much to ask
Just one tiny task
Do this and we will reward you
Everybody has their price

Wake up shivering with fear
This could end your shit career
With a tiny word
Carefully placed in the right ear

Kiss your pension pot farewell
Maybe even go to jail
In up to your neck
You are just a marionette

Look the other way
Just do as we say
If you don't we will expose you
Everybody has their, has their price

Everybody has their
Everybody has their
Everybody has their
Everybody has their price
