Paper Trails, Red Ties, Money Rules the World (Classic Country Ballad)

Intro

Oh oh

Yeah

Chorus

Big bank rolling on a red tie trail

Turning every promise into something for sale

Golden grease on a rusted gate

Bought and sold while the people wait

They got the gold

They got the grip

The ones with the most pull the weight on the ship

Verse 1

Paper trails

Stretching out across the county lines

High rollers hide behind the marble and the pines

Greed is good for a select few

The rest of us are left without a clue

Pre-Chorus

Look at the ink

Watch where it goes

Look at the sink

The water barely flows

Chorus

Big bank rolling on a red tie trail

Turning every promise into something for sale

Golden grease on a rusted gate

Bought and sold while the people wait

They got the gold

They got the grip

The ones with the most pull the weight on the ship

Post-Chorus

Keep it coming

Keep it coming

Yeah they want it all

Verse 2

Pocketbooks decide the winner of the race

Never see a working man in that sacred place

Silent donor

Smiling face

Running this town into total disgrace

Pre-Chorus

Check the ledger

Check the law

Check the pressure

Holes in every claw

Chorus

Big bank rolling on a red tie trail

Turning every promise into something for sale

Golden grease on a rusted gate

Bought and sold while the people wait

They got the gold

They got the grip

The ones with the most pull the weight on the ship

Bridge

They win when we fight

They win when we lose

They win because we cannot choose

A hundred dollar handshake in a dim back room

Planting the seeds for a middle class doom

Chorus

Big bank rolling on a red tie trail

Turning every promise into something for sale

Golden grease on a rusted gate

Bought and sold while the people wait

They got the gold

They got the grip

The ones with the most pull the weight on the ship

Post-Chorus

Keep it coming

Keep it coming

Yeah they want it all
