Lyrics Follow the Money (Acoustic) - The Proclaimers

I've got to follow the money
Gotta go to work
Gotta make a living
'Til my body hurts
Gotta bite my lip
Gotta wreck my health
Gotta break my back for my share of wealth, eh

I've got to follow the money (follow the money)
Gotta go to work (go to work)
Gotta make a living (make a living)
'Til my body hurts (body hurts)
Gotta bite my lip (bite my lip)
Gotta wreck my health (wreck my health)
Gotta break my back (break my back)
For my share of wealth (share of wealth)

I've gotta the follow money (follow money)
Gotta earn my pay (earn my pay)
Spent everything (everything)
I earned yesterday (yesterday)
Gotta find the cash (find the cash)
'Cause it won't find me (won't find me)
So, I can feed myself (feed myself)
And my family (family)

When I left school I was bummin' around
I'd smoke and drink and let my mind wander
I'd roll out of bed about, ah, twelve o'clock
I can't do that any longer, 'cause I

I've got to follow the money (follow the money)
Gotta go to work (go to work)
Gotta make a living (make a living)
Until my body hurts (body hurts)
Gotta bite my lip (bite my lip)
I gotta wreck my health (wreck my health)
Gotta break my back (break my back)
For my share of wealth (share of wealth)

Now I need to toil 'cause it's good for my soul
I feel clean when I'm working
You drop all the mystical Celtic bull
'Cause that stuff's just jerking

Alright, alright, alright, uh
I'm working, I'm working, I'm working, working, uh
Alright, oh, yeah, alright, oh yeah
Working, working, working

No, I'm not saying that I work like my dad
I know I don't work like my mum
But I'm made of the same stuff and I'm six-feet tall
Gimme the tools I'll get the job done

Got to follow the money (follow the money)
Gotta go to work (go to work)
Gotta make a living (make a living)
Until my body hurts (body hurts)
I gotta bite my lip (bite my lip)
I gotta wreck my health (wreck my health)
Gotta break my back (break my back)
For my share of wealth (share of wealth)

I gotta the follow money (follow money)
I gotta earn my pay (earn my pay)
I spent everything (everything)
I earned yesterday (yesterday)
I gotta find the cash (find the cash)
'Cause it won't find me (won't find me)
So, I can feed myself (feed myself) and my family

Feed myself and my family
That's why I'm working (I'm working)
I'm working (I'm working)
I'm working (I'm working)
I'm working (keep working)
I'm working (keep working)
I'm working now (yeah)
