Nda
Keep the money,
if you keep your mouth shut
Feel free to speak openly on all things,
as long as the sealed information stays put
Let your bank account numbers go up,
as certain liberty restrictions get placed on lockdown
You willingly signed on the dotted line,
when the adversarial lawyer said it was settlement time
NDA in effect, baby ...
Non-disclosure agreement
Whatever the defendant did to you,
you can’t talk about it no more
Whatever axe you gotta grind still —
just best bury it,
and start honoring the deal
NDA starts today, baby ...
Non-disclosure agreement
Whatever the media asks,
you no longer can say
Legal language got you in a moral bind:
you sold your personal grievance
for a boatload of shiny dimes
Best-seller book expose
and silver screen movie
ain’t happening
But no longer do you have to be cross-examined,
getting grilled
This unanchored you
from having to pay a lot of legal bills
NDA is pure secrecy, baby ...
Non-disclosure agreement
Make the predator serve the prey
It’s the legal way
for perps not to have to pay
for their crime
At least ... not by ... receiving any jail time
They would gladly pay money
to make those sordid details all go away
Now that you’ve signed on the dotted line,
you’re free to talk about this to yourself
Just remember: don’t disclose this to anybody else
