Verse 1: Up serving plates past midnight, tips jangle in her jar She's still got her rent to pay but Uncle Sam is never far Her taxes flow into coffers picked clean by politicians Traded off for sex or drugs then used to buy munitions Chorus: Follow the money, grab it as it goes Sliding through the sluices, hold on as it flows Follow the money, deep into the dark Hang on for dear life, my friend, as we trace its arc Verse 2: He tills the Earth to earn his keep and the taxman takes his share Little does he know they make their way across the sea and air Their path diverted by bureaucrats with agendas of their own Funding friendly warlords sitting on their thrones of bone Chorus: Follow the money, grab it as it goes Sliding through the sluices, hold on as it flows Follow the money, deep into the dark Hang on for dear life, my friend, as we trace its arc Bridge: They say it all goes off to help, even if they won't say where And yet the cities and folks around still slip into despair Money lining pockets, spent on pork and so much worse The truth'll suck the wind from your lungs, stripped from the public purse Chorus: Follow the money, grab it as it goes Sliding through the sluices, hold on as it flows Follow the money, deep into the dark Hang on for dear life, my friend, as we trace its arc Bridge: They say it all goes off to help, even if they won't say where And yet the cities and folks around still slip into despair Money lining pockets, spent on pork and so much worse The truth'll suck the wind from your lungs, stripped from the public purse Chorus: Follow the money, grab it as it goes Sliding through the sluices, hold on as it flows Follow the money, deep into the dark Hang on for dear life, my friend, as we trace its arc
