Backstory:

Leading Creditor is a group that found its genesis in Wall Street’s high-pressure environment, where the four bandmates worked as finance professionals. The band was born out of lunch and coffee break jam sessions, where the members shared their common passion for music and hatred for monotonous corporate culture. After a sudden layoff during the 2008 financial crisis, they decided to turn their passion into their profession. They traded their suit and ties for guitars and mics, and Leading Creditor was born.

They found their name from their previous profession and the irony of their transition, a symbol of their liberation from the world of credit and debt that they were once a part of. Over time, their work in finance has significantly influenced their lyrics, which often carry a strong socio-political message about financial inequality and the world of high finance.

Title:

“Dollar Signs in our Eyes”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
Am, G, F, C
Traded in our suits and ties, (Am)
Left behind our corporate lies. (G)
Now we strum the truth so loud, (F)
In the faces of the proud. (C)

(Chorus)
G, D, Em, C
No more dollar signs in our eyes, (G)
No more chasing the greedy prize. (D)
We’re singing for the ones left behind, (Em)
In the race where the blind lead the blind. (C)

(Verse 2)
Am, G, F, C
Once lost in the maze of wealth, (Am)
Forgot about our inner health. (G)
But music set our hearts ablaze, (F)
On the world’s stage we found our place. (C)

(Chorus)
G, D, Em, C
No more dollar signs in our eyes, (G)
No more chasing the greedy prize. (D)
We’re singing for the ones left behind, (Em)
In the race where the blind lead the blind. (C)

Testimonial:

“I’ve always loved music, but Leading Creditor is more than just a music band to me. Their lyrics speak powerfully about the socio-economic disparities that I’ve personally experienced. As a small business owner who has suffered in the financial downturn, their song ‘Dollar Signs in our Eyes’ has become an anthem for me and many others. It’s rare to see a band that uses their platform to speak out against the injustices of the world. Leading Creditor is a beacon of hope in the music industry, standing against the tide of commercial superficiality. Their music is their protest and their weapon.”
