Where There’s A Will, There ’s A Relative

V5

[Intro] [Long Intro] [Verse 1] 
House empty, ticking clock, quiet like a grave
 The will’s unread, but whispers fill the hall
 First cousin waltzes in, then Aunt May in a rage
 Uncles and nieces, plotting to take it all [Pre-Chorus]
 Eyes dart, smiles fake, everyone’s on stage
 Gossip and greed, spreading through the place [Chorus] 
Where there’s a will… there’s a relative
 They come crawling, hungry and competitive
 Shuffling papers, voices sharp as a knife 
All for what they think is their slice of life [Verse 2]
 Grandma’s in pearls, snickering at the rest
 Cousin Frank brings a lawyer and a list
 Some distant cousin claims he’s got the best
 Aunt Jean brings a drama that cannot be missed [Pre-Chorus]
 The air grows tense, each face a mask
 Greed growing louder, questions none dare ask [Chorus]
 Where there’s a will… there’s a relative
 They come crawling, hungry and competitive 
Shuffling papers, voices sharp as a knife
 All for what they think is their slice of life [Bridge]
 Executor clears his throat, the room falls still
 He opens the will, he signs with a quill
 A pause, a look, the relatives lean in
 Then he reads aloud with a mischievous grin… [Long Guitar Solo] [Verse 3]
 “You’re not his family, it seems he was adopted 
All your scheming… it’s forfeit
 The house, the bank, the car, and the gold? 
Goes to Hermes, the cat, completely I’m told!” [Chorus]
 Where there’s a will… there’s a relative?
 Not this time, my friends, it’s the cat’s prerogative 
All your plotting, greed, and strife
 Gone to Hermes, the cat, now living the life [Outro] [End Song] [End]
