Opioid Settlement
TitanChord
Intro
They mailed us a check for the dead
Verse 1
They mailed us a check for the dead
Eight hundred dollars a headstone, the lawyer said
Divide the settlement by the buried sons
Carry the decimal, that's what a life runs
The company that flooded us pays no time
Just writes the number off as a cost of the crime
Pre-Chorus
Sign the waiver, cash it slow
That's the price of a town we know
Chorus
Opioid settlement, here's your share
Blood money mailed with the county's care
A funeral's worth in a windowed note
Opioid settlement, that's the quote
Verse 2
They sent a press release, all polite
Committed to communities overnight
The man who pushed the pills got a golden door
We got a check that won't buy back one more
Pinned it to the fridge by the funeral cards
Spent it on the grass in the churchyard
Pre-Chorus
Sign the waiver, cash it slow
That's the price of a town we know
Chorus
Opioid settlement, here's your share
Blood money mailed with the county's care
A funeral's worth in a windowed note
Opioid settlement, that's the quote
Bridge
You can't un-bury with a check
You can't unbreak a mother's neck
They balanced books on the boxes down below
Opioid settlement, here's your share
Blood money mailed with the county's care
A funeral's worth in a windowed note
Opioid settlement, that's the quote
Outro
Cashed it, spent it, buried him
Cashed it
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.
