Scandal Shake-Up

Well, gather round, hear the tale so fine Of a leader who danced out of line Of a leader who danced out of line He promised the world with a silver tongue Built roads that vanished run out of garm She whispered sweet nothings he handed the cash Now the paper's screaming, what a flashy crash Oh, scandal, what a show, corruption or parade Loving lies in the shade Hey, hey, what a show, gluttony fingers tied He smiles for the camera, waves goodbye Bought a fancy car He smiles for the camera, waves goodbye Gold chains that gleam She left with the loot he cries innocence But we all know the dance of pretense Oh, scandal in the street Heav'n's pockets passin' Shake it up, shake it down, truth comin' round In this merry-go-round town Hey, hey, what a show, corruption or parade Loving lies in the shade One day we'll rise again Rise up, stop the foolish game Choose our honest heart not the hall of fame But till then we sing and we sway At the circus of power Hip, hip, hooray But till then we sing and we sway At the circus of power Hip, hip, hooray Scandal fade away But the rhythm stay Hip, hip, hooray Laugh it up tomorrow Dance today Hey, hey, what a show Fade out slow Hip, hip, hooray Dance today Hip, hip, hooray Dance today Hip, hip, hooray Dance today Hip, hip, hooray Dance today
