lirik lagu adam ezra group – scandal
buck tooth johnny sent a letter to the globe
said the governor’s at it again
said i saw him twice last week with his girl monique
while his wife’s at the doc’s getting thin
he’s in league with the mob, kick backs every job
got ’em all out in charge of the dig
and his drug cartel, it’s sure doin well
runs through the priests and the pigs
if you don’t print my story i’ll go somewhere else
with all of the things i saw
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
well jean at the globe got johnny’s letter
and her mouth puckered up at the seams
you see stories this huge set the standard for news
she’d be livin out her hopes and her dreams
she sent it right down to print where a mole named clint
soaked it in through his bloodshot eyes
he called joe from mcnews who p-ssed in his shoes
and sent it out over the wire
by four o’clock that afternoon everybody had a flappin jaw
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
me and the boys were down at sully’s
drinkin after a day in the pits
mcnews on the screen, our foreman dean shouts out
“ain’t that the gov in the mix?
hey, i voted for that lousy sob!”
and we all shouted “can the clown!”
in bars and homes all around all the neighboring towns
the same ugly scene went down
we better march on the capitol show ’em
we’re not as dumb as they think we are
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
the governor stood in his office, white t–th, silk suit
looking down at the scene on the street
we’d all come out holding signs and shouting
“the governor’s a crook and a cheat”
just then a lacky burst in with a desperate grin
said, “what we gonna do now, chief?”
the gov just lit up a pipe, said, “it’ll be alright
we’ll call the national party for relief
in two weeks time they’ll have it all cleaned up
without so much as a hem or haw”
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
the next day flew by the party thugs arrived
with the wrists handcuffed to their files
they said, “we gotta three pr-ng attack to get you back on track”
and the gov flashed a glistening smile
“first we’ll slander this buck tooth johnny guy
while you roll out a tax cut plan
then we’ll redistrict just so, hardly no one will know
but we’ll never lose elections again
meanwhile you better toe the party line or by next years time
you’ll be a community professor at law”
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
now as some may have guessed and others detest
this story putters out like a match
we all had to gulp shoveled talk show pulp
down the sordid, proverbial hatch
buck tooth johnny who started it all
got a dose of the old ‘what for’
they said they caught him online committing the crime
of consorting with terrorists and wh0r-s
but he just signed a deal on a book called squeal
it’ll be featured on oprah this fall
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
meanwhile joe from mcnews won a pulitzer
for his outstanding work in the field
to keep his reputation clean he had to pay off jean
signed her up to a six-figure deal
presidential run for the gov, guess he proved to the thugs
he could sure play a mean game of ball
and for those that ain’t rich, we’re still back in the pits
overwhelmed by the blur of it all
yeah we’ll get fifty bucks back off of next year’s taxes
spend it on whiskey and chaw
meanwhile the schools downtown get their budgets cut down
ripped out with a serpent-like claw
and if you’re lookin for truth, well you can set up a booth
peddle anything that cuts like a saw
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
it’s a scandal, a razzle dazz, a regular coup d’état
it’s a back door deal, it’s a flim flam
it stinks of that je ne sais quoi
it’s a scandal
