It’s
not surprising that a song about the control money has over society owes its
origin to Las Vegas, Nevada. “Follow The Money” was released in early
2026 by Theo Black, a Indie musician based in Miami, Florida. While talking about
the song, Black explained:
"Last summer I took a solo cross-country road trip to get my creativity flowing and try to write some tunes along the way. This song began in a Vegas hotel room, the one shaped like a pyramid, with my first-floor window staring directly at the backside of a replica sphinx. And as I continued my trip listening to the demo, the lyrics fittingly turned toward money.
Definitely something that weighs heavy on the minds of small musicians as we try and get our ART heard in a world that treats music like CONTENT."
Theo Black is a man with a sense of humor, which is apparent from content on his website and Bandcamp pages. Our personal favorite from him: “No man is an island unto himself, but Theo Black is from a peninsula,” which makes more sense when you remember that he is from southern Florida.

Lyrics of “Follow The Money” by Theo Black
all my life they been draggin’ me down
it’s the same damn demons in a different town
you wanna know why you’re kicked around?
you’ve gotta follow the money
all my life it’s been easy to see
that no one really cares until there’s something they need
so where does that leave you and me?
we’ve gotta follow the- the- the-
the money gives, the money provides
the money takes and the money lies
they’ve got a secret that they don’t try to hide
you know that nothing can be wrong if the numbers are right
cornered in the ring for another round
they’ve got you dollar for dollar
beat you pound for pound
that’s what you get for sticking around
you’ve gotta follow the money
gathered ‘round the room wearing family ties
they say “we’ve gotta invest, gotta capitalize
rinse and repeat until one-of-us dies
always follow the the the—“
the money gives, the money provides
the money takes and the money lies
they’ve got a secret that they don’t try to hide
you know that nothing can be wrong if the numbers are right
the money rips, the money divides
the money shakes and the money binds
they’ve got a secret that they don’t try to hide
always follow the money
throwing precious stones from stained glass homes
thinkin’ you’re alright
but we’ve got bigger rocks here on the ground
the money gives, the money provides
the money takes and the money lies
they’ve got a secret that they don’t try to hide
always follow the money
the money rips, the money divides
the money shakes and the money binds
they’ve got a secret that they don’t try to hide
always follow the money
all my life they been draggin’ me down
it’s the same damn demons in a different town
you wanna know why you’re kicked around?
you’ve gotta follow the money
all my life it’s been easy to see
that no one really cares until there’s something they need
so where does that leave you and me?
we’ve gotta follow the- the- the-
the money gives, the money provides
the money takes and the money lies
they’ve got a secret that they don’t try to hide
you know that nothing can be wrong if the numbers are right
cornered in the ring for another round
they’ve got you dollar for dollar
beat you pound for pound
that’s what you get for sticking around
you’ve gotta follow the money
gathered ‘round the room wearing family ties
they say “we’ve gotta invest, gotta capitalize

the money takes and the money lies
they’ve got a secret that they don’t try to hide

they’ve got a secret that they don’t try to hide
always follow the money
throwing precious stones from stained glass homes
thinkin’ you’re alright
but we’ve got bigger rocks here on the ground
the money gives, the money provides
the money takes and the money lies
they’ve got a secret that they don’t try to hide

the money shakes and the money binds
they’ve got a secret that they don’t try to hide
always follow the money
