Quid Pro Quo lyrics

2 years ago

The Prodigy has been living with the Girl for some time now, but her loving attention is not enough. Without the drug, the overwhelming chaos in his mind returns, shutting him down and causing him to return to his introverted self. The the Rival comes up with a compelling but devious suggestion.

[Rival:]

Let’s make a deal

I’ll get you what you need

You know I am a brilliant chemist

I can duplicate your drug, but my offer has a price

If you want a new supply

You have to help me

[Prodigy:]

Count me in, I’ll do anything you want

But isn’t it ironic?

The fates must be laughing

Your greatest enemy

Is the one who holds the key

What do you need from me?

[Rival:]

I’ve found a way to infiltrate the banks

If you can break their algorithms

And bypass their systems

There’s millions to be made, and all without a trace

We can’t lose here

[Girl:]

This can’t be true

Now who’s being used?

Don’t let it end this way

It hurts me to tell you, you’re gonna have to choose

What you really wanna do

Don’t let me down!
