Follow The Money v1

[Verse 1] They smile with a plan in hand Sell you a fix, then raise the demand Paper on paper, the lock on the door Pay for the cure, then pay for more Need gets framed like a market trend Pain gets shaped by the quarterly end If it helps the many, they drag their feet If it helps the board, it hits the street [Pre-Chorus] Read the room, read the price Every answer comes at a sacrifice Look who wins, look who’s near Same old names keep pulling you here [Chorus] Follow the money Follow the money That’s where the truth comes clean Follow the money Follow the money Watch what the margins mean [Verse 2] A crowded line and a locked-up gate A hungry crowd and a “please just wait” They call it choice when the choices shrink They call it care when the ledgers blink New talk, same hands, same suit, same grin Same old deal with a fresh coat spin If a better world costs less control They’ll bury it deep in a special report [Pre-Chorus] Read the room, read the price Every answer comes at a sacrifice Look who wins, look who’s near Same old names keep pulling you here [Chorus] Follow the money Follow the money That’s where the truth comes clean Follow the money Follow the money Watch what the margins mean [Bridge] They don’t fund what can’t be owned They don’t bless what can’t be cloned If the people rise, if the numbers shift They’ll rename the cage and sell the gift [Final Chorus] Follow the money Follow the money That’s where the truth comes clean Follow the money Follow the money Watch what the margins mean Follow the money Follow the money And you’ll see what they believe
