about

This song is a fictional account of a business deal gone sour as negotiated by the devil disguised as my contracts professor from the first year of law school. He is actually a very nice person (my professor that is – as far as I know, I've never actually met the devil, at least, not yet.)

lyrics

SQUID PRO QUO

It's so nice to make your acquaintance
Step outside, it's a lovely view
Better bring a team of accountants
In case it doesn't add up for you

It's so easy to make it hard
It's so easy to make it hard
It's so easy to make it hard for you

Don't be so afraid of the future
You're not doomed to repeat the past
I could make you the deal of a lifetime
Or shackle you tight to the mast

It's so easy to make it hard
Take young Sherlock to Scotland Yard
It's so easy to make it hard for you

Take the suitcase and count the money
I assure you it's all there
You may think I drive a hard bargain
And I'm finally out of your hair
Woman, wine, luxury, cash
From your shaking hands, let the dice roll
Take the money, you can take the money
You can take the money
I get your soul

It's so easy to make it hard
It's so easy to make it hard
It's so easy to make it hard
It's so easy to make it hard for you
