lyrics

(mm)

Twenty-two, a room of men, a contract, and a pen
They explained the industry to me for forty minutes
I let them, because people tell you everything
(tell you everything)
When they think you're not listening properly

Then I opened my folder (my folder)
And the temperature in that room changed permanently

Negotiation
(negotiation)
The quietest person in the room reads the fastest
Negotiation
I never raised my voice, I raised the price

People call it ruthless when a woman reads a clause
They call it diligence when it's someone's nephew
Same behaviour, two words, and the words do the damage
(do the damage)
I've stopped arguing about the words. I just sign better deals.

I read contracts for pleasure now. Actual pleasure.
That's either very healthy or the saddest thing I've said.
Possibly both.
(bass returns)

Negotiation
(negotiation)
The quietest person in the room reads the fastest
Negotiation
I never raised my voice, I raised the price

(negotiation...)
