        A7
Well I really don't care if I ain't western as fuck

                                 A
'Cause I don't wear a hat and I don't drive a truck

              D
I made everything but a living

    A
My voice gotten used

         A7
I ain't selling my soul for a couple of views
[Chorus]
   G
Payola for thee

   D
Payola for playlist

      A7
Blue check-marks and follows and streams
[Verse]
       A7
We'll license your song, we'll give you 60 percent
We'll advance you some dough so you got money to spend
        D
Put it all toward promotion when she blows up
N.C. High five our fat asses with the 40 percent [Chorus]
   G
Payola for thee

   D
Payola for playlists

      A7                          A7     A7   A7
Blue check-marks and follows and streams
[Verse]
           A7
There are folks in the business no older than me
That ain't never done nothing but email and drink
         D7
And the Coke in the kitchen it ain't Coca-Cola

             A7
And they'll swear and declare (snort)
[Chorus]
N.C                G
Payola, payola, payola for thee

            D                   A7
Brought to you by nepotism and veiled in authority

   G                    D
Payola for thee is the Wizard Of Oz

         A            A7
And the curtains, the do re mi, mi, mi
[Instrumental] A7 A7 D7 A7 G D D7 A7 G D7 A7 A7 [Verse]
         A7
I ain't never been viral but I've had the flu
It was hard to monetize but I made it through
N.C.          D7
And when the 'Rona' came and the labels went home

         A                N.C.
We went back to Starbucks they took PPP loans
[Chorus]
   G
Payola for thee

   D
Payola for playlist

      A7
Blue check-marks and follows and streams

   G                    D
Payola for thee is the Wizard Of Oz

         A            A7
And the curtains, the do re mi, mi, mi
[Verse]
         A7
And the cowboy cosplay of Music City
To the LA cyborgs and New York pretty's
        D7                     A
Austin City's got no limit for DMT dreams

          A7
It's all bought and paid for
N.C. It ain't as it seems [Chorus]
   G                    D
Payola for thee it's a vending machine

        A7
Of the music industry

   G                    D
Payola for thee is the Wizard Of Oz

         A7
And the curtains, the do re mi
[Break] N.C. It's a shallow money trench, Thompson's correct Sail through an ocean of shit and you still get wrecked [Chorus]
       G                        D
And payola for thee brought to you by nepotism

     A7
And veiled in authority

   G                  D          A
Payola for thee is a vending machine

        A7
Of the music industry

   G                    D
Payola for thee is the Wizard Of Oz

         A7                           A7   A7   A7
And the curtains, the do re mi, mi, mi
