Opioid Settlement

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
