FOLLOW THE MONEY – AUDIO

As I look around at the world today a couple of things seem to stand out. One is what my Mother said many times … “if it sounds to good to be true, it probably isn’t” keep that one in mind. I may work that in to a song someday but the second one I have, FOLLOW THE MONEY it is a trail that has led to the stench since the first sea shells were exchanged for goods.

They are not easy trails to follow these days as the corrupt have found ways to blur, mis-mark, distract, cover up and hide just about everything … so it takes some perseverance and sweeping aside the road blocks to find a beaten path to the end. Having said that “money leaves a trail like blood in the water” and the real sharks will eventually find either the source or the receiver and enough evidence to convince even the mightiest of skeptics that there is something dirty in there.

You might not think this is great song subject material … but I only write what I know and only what is delivered to my head in song format.

FOLLOW THE MONEY LYRICS

You want to know where it started know where it ends just follow the money to the lowest common sin
It was said some time ago when the water broke the gate if you follow the money you will learn the fate
It holds true to this very day as it always has before if you follow the money you get to the core
Money leaves a trail you can smell the blood in the water follow the money it leads to the alter
Power is money and that’s what its all about there is no place on this earth where it can’t be found out
If you follow the money it leads to the end if you follow the money again again and again
Who’s fault is that war who’s responsible for the deaths just follow the money to the darkest depth
Who stands to profit who’s rakin it in who’s building up power to the very end

It’s the money that’s coveted and the power within
It’s the money and power at the root of all sins
They want what you have they don’t care if it stings                    
They want the money and the gold and the power it brings

Its not about the oil but the power that it brings they can sell it for money and have more things
Its not about religion or the territory gained it’s all about the money and the power it brings
Follow the money in the end you will see where it all winds up that’s where the power will be
When they run out of money and they want to get more they just start lobbing rockets start up a war
Along with sympathy they rake in the dough they stick in their pockets its power ya know
It not hard to find its right there in our faces just follow the money to the deepest dark places
Claim their oppressed put on and tortured please help my people I’ll make a small fortune
Convince the sheep that you have the sight give me your money and I’ll show you the light

It’s the money that’s coveted and the power within
It’s the money and power at the root of all sins
They want what you have they don’t care if it stings                    
They want the money and the gold and the power it brings
They want what you have they don’t care if it stings

They want the money and the gold and the power it brings
