Political - FOLLOW THE MONEY by soullight13

(Intro hook - big upbeat beat first then Tambourine)

(Vocal -Male main vocal folk - whispered soft MALE voice, backing female vocal echo's)

**[Verse 1]**

Follow the money, follow the trail,
Follow the deal when the promises fail.
Follow the handshake, follow the gold,
Funny how the same old story gets told.

**[Verse 2]**

Follow the banker in his tailored suit,
Follow the lobbyist dressed to recruit.
Follow the cheque when the cameras arrive,
Funny how "public interest" suddenly thrives.

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Follow the money, follow the sound,
Follow it up when it disappears underground.
Ask who is winning, ask who gets paid,
Then watch how quickly the questions get made.

**[Chorus]**

Follow the money, follow the gold,
Follow the story that never gets told.
Follow the money, follow the trail,
Follow it right when the headlines fail.

**[Verse 3]**

Politician smiles, promises change,
Shakes your hand while the numbers rearrange.
Campaign is over, the promises fade,
Back through the door where the deals have been made.

**[Verse 4]**

The news keeps shouting, "Look over here!"
Selling another convenient fear.
While everybody's busy deciding who's right,
Someone's counting the profits tonight.

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Follow the money, don't follow the show,
Follow the places they don't want you to go.
Pull back the curtain, look underneath,
Funny what you find when you question the thief.

**[Chorus]**

Follow the money, follow the gold,
Follow the story that never gets told.
Follow the money, follow the trail,
Follow it right when the headlines fail.

**[Bridge]**

They call it business, they call it the game,
They change the rules but they keep the same name.
They call it progress, they call it the plan,
Funny how progress forgets the little man.

**[Breakdown]**

Follow the money, don't look away,
Follow it through every promise they make.
Follow it higher, follow it down,
Follow it straight through the heart of the town.

**[Final Chorus]**

Follow the money, follow the gold,
Follow the story that never gets told.
Follow the money, follow the trail,
Follow it right when the headlines fail.

**[Outro]**

Follow the money, that's all you need,
Follow the power and watch where it leads.
Follow the money, then ask yourself why...
The richest keep winning while the rest barely get by.
