[Intro] [Synth intro with a catchy, slightly melancholic melody]
Ooh-ooh, yeah
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh

[Verse 1] [Lead Vocalist]
Signed my name in fancy letters
Dreams as big as city skies
Thought I held the golden ticket
Now I see it in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus] [All voices, building intensity]
Promises whispered, shining bright
Of stages lit and endless nights
But the small print blurs under the light

[Chorus] [Harmonies, upbeat but with a hint of sadness]
This ain't a love song, baby, no
It's just The Contract, taking hold
Every note, every single show
We signed our lives away, you know
This ain't a love song, can't you see?
We're singing for a company

[Verse 2] [Second Vocalist]
Diamond rings and limousines
Looked so good on magazine
Now the sparkle's wearing thin
Trapped inside this gilded skin

[Pre-Chorus] [All voices, building intensity]
Promises whispered, shining bright
Of stages lit and endless nights
But the small print blurs under the light

[Chorus] [Harmonies, upbeat but with a hint of sadness]
This ain't a love song, baby, no
It's just The Contract, taking hold
Every note, every single show
We signed our lives away, you know
This ain't a love song, can't you see?
We're singing for a company

[Bridge] [Spoken word, all members]
Six albums, five years, three singles a year, two world tours, one choice... theirs.

[Chorus] [Harmonies, powerful and slightly desperate]
This ain't a love song, baby, no
It's just The Contract, taking hold
Every note, every single show
We signed our lives away, you know
This ain't a love song, can't you see?
We're singing for a company

[Outro] [Synth fades out with layered harmonies]
Singing for a company...
Ooh-ooh, oh-oh
The Contract...
[Fade to silence]
