Lyrics

He’s Not the Kingpin

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

He’s not the kingpin

Don’t have the knowhow

He’s not the kingpin

Don’t have the knowhow

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

Follow the money

Follow the story

Research it further

Research it further

Follow the money

Follow the story

Research it further

Research it further

Give me the details

Give me the number

Research it further

Research it further

Used by the media

Used by the media

For their agenda

For their agenda

Who’s shouting loudest?

Who’s getting comfy?

Who’s taking over?

Who’s taking over?

Let’s take it further

Who’s taking over?

Who’ll be in clover?

Who’ll be in clover?

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

He’s not the kingpin

He doesn’t have the knowhow

He’s not the kingpin

He don’t have the know how

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

Follow the media

What’s their agenda?

How do they frame it?

How do they name it?

Follow the media

What’s their agenda?

How do they frame it?

How do they name it?

You make the call

He’ll take the fall

Patsy or Seamus

Bet he can name us

Who are the sources?

Horses for courses

Who are the sources?

Horses for courses

Don’t have enough

Just make it up

Follow the story

Follow the money

If he’s a traitor

Sooner or later

He’ll take the fall

He’ll drop the ball

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

He’s not the kingpin

He don’t have the knowhow

He’s not the kingpin

He don’t have the knowhow

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just the fall guy

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy

He’s not the kingpin

He’s just a fall guy
