Let's Make a Deal
Stray from the Path Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the price is wrong bitch
The future was written on a cashed check
Like there's nothing to lose on an all in bet
Fear and loathing, so fucking sadistic
Play the people like a game, they're a fucking statistic
Born to lose, bound to fall
Rob the poor to feed the rich and push that agenda
'Cause you're Donnie's bitch
Everything has a price
But the price is wrong bitch
Slash the funs like a cut throat, ear to ear
A blind person in the car and you let them steer?
So you know where we're going? What's the ETA?
Downhill with the brakes cut, lead the way
1600 Penn, with a smile on your face
Rolling into the room like you own the place
Fake it 'till you make it, don't earn it, just take it
A promise to our youth and we just watched you fucking break it
Money makes the world go around
Money makes the world burn down
The union of our wealth and state has our future looking fucking great!
Climbing your way to the top
But the higher you climb, the further you drop
Everything has a price
But the price is wrong bitch
The song "Let's Make a Deal" by Stray from the Path expresses frustration and anger towards the corrupt and manipulative nature of those in power. The lyrics suggest that everything in this world has a price, but the price is distorted and unfair. The opening lines, "Everything has its price, but the price is wrong bitch," convey a feeling of rebellion against the established system that values profit over people's well-being.
The song criticizes the politicians and leaders who prioritize their own gain over the needs of the people. The line "Rob the poor to feed the rich and push that agenda" highlights the unequal distribution of wealth and the way in which politicians exploit the vulnerable for their own benefit. The reference to being "Donnie's bitch" alludes to the song targeting President Donald Trump and his administration, suggesting that they are in collusion with the corrupt system.
The lyrics also touch on the concept of blind obedience and complacency. The line "Fake it 'till you make it, don't earn it, just take it" criticizes the lack of integrity in those in power who pretend to have earned their positions when, in reality, they have manipulated their way to the top. The song's message suggests that this dishonest approach ultimately leads to a downfall, as indicated by the line "the higher you climb, the further you drop."
Overall, "Let's Make a Deal" serves as a powerful critique of the current societal and political climate, highlighting the negative consequences of greed, manipulation, and inequality.

@RoseOxton
Really wish they did a music video with this and had Drew dressed up in a little suit on a The Price Is Right parody show.
@joshuajames2802
Didn't Rage do something similar that? Might be remembering wrong. Great idea tho
@RoseOxton
Joshua James You're thinking of Sleep Now In The Fire, which they had a parody of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, but Zach himself was just in a suit in some snippets of the video, not impersonating a host.
