Ledger Lines

[Silence]

[Instrumental, Guitar, Piano, Organ, Synth, Bass, Percussion, Drums]

[Intro]
[Instrumental Intro: Pulsing Bass, Organ Swell, Muted Guitar Chops, Rising Synth Filter]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Show your books
(Open the page)
Every promise
(Comes of age)

[Instrumental]
[Bass Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]

[Verse 1]
Numbers climb
(While wages stall)
Sign the line
(Then deny it all)
Balance sheet
(Black or red?)
Count the cost
(Of what you said)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Audit time
(No disguise)
Truth accrues
(With compound lies)

[Build: Synth Arpeggio Rising]

[Chorus]
Show your ledger lines
(Every fraction)
History tallies
(Each action)
No more smoke
(No abstraction)
Answer now
(With satisfaction)

[Instrumental – Saxophone Solo]
[Guitar Solo — sharp, rhythmic]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]

[Verse 2]
Policy ink
(Bleeds downstream)
Markets blink
(While children scream)
External cost
(Off the chart)
Future billed
(Right from the start)

[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Interest due
(Principal pain)
Every shortcut
(Leaves a stain)

[Build: Synth Arpeggio Rising]

[Chorus]
Show your ledger lines
(Every fraction)
History tallies
(Each action)
No more spin
(No distraction)
Pay the price
(For the transaction)

[Outro]
[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Can you account
(For your role?)
The books remain
(As a whole)
Debits and credits
(Soul to soul)
Reckoning comes
(Take control)
Let’s roll!
