Lake Street Dive - Hush Money Lyrics

You tell the people and the papers what they ought to believe
You wave a shiny metal object where you want 'em to see
But there's a flame and I saw you fan it
All while you saying 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, give it, yeah, yeah, yeah
('Cause I got some bills to pay)
So let me get some of that
Hush money, give it, give it, yeah, yeah, yeah
('Cause I got some 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, give it, give it yeah, yeah, yeah
('Cause I got some bills to pay)
So let me get some of that
Hush money, give it yeah, yeah, yeah
('Cause I got some things to say)
So let me give some of that
Hush money give it yeah, yeah
('Cause I got some bills to take)
Oh, let me get some of that
Hush money give it yeah, yeah
('Cause I got some 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, give it, give it yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
('Cause I got some bills to pay)
So let me get some of that
Hush money, give it, give it, yeah, give it, yeah, yeah
('Cause I got some things to say)
So let me give some of that
Hush money yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
('Cause I got some bills to take)
So let me give some of that
Hush money give it, give it, yeah, yeah, yeah
('Cause I got some things to say)
