[Verse 1] Phantom fingers pull the strings, boardroom shadows cast their spell Foreign interests weave their plans through corporate citadels Direct control or subtle sway, the puppet master hides While classified intelligence bleeds through compromised pipelines [Chorus] Hidden ways and foreign sway Power lurking in the gray Unauthorized eyes can see National security's jeopardy Indirect grip, the silent threat Management strings in foreign net When contracts fail and secrets leak It's foreign sway the spies all seek [Verse 2] Subsidiary shells and holding firms mask the true command Offshore entities pull levers with an invisible hand Operations bend to distant will, decisions made afar Performance stumbles, timelines slip when loyalties are scarred [Chorus] Hidden ways and foreign sway Power lurking in the gray Unauthorized eyes can see National security's jeopardy Indirect grip, the silent threat Management strings in foreign net When contracts fail and secrets leak It's foreign sway the spies all seek [Bridge] Not just ownership on paper thin Influence creeps where trust wears thin Affecting matters, steering course Through economic binding force The power whether exercised Or dormant, leaves us compromised [Verse 3] Supply chain tendrils stretch and wind through nations we can't trust Defense contractors dancing to foreign interest's thrust Programs falter, blueprints vanish, technologies exposed The hidden sway has found its way through doors we thought were closed [Chorus] Hidden ways and foreign sway Power lurking in the gray Unauthorized eyes can see National security's jeopardy Indirect grip, the silent threat Management strings in foreign net When contracts fail and secrets leak It's foreign sway the spies all seek [Outro] Vigilance guards the razor's edge Where sovereignty meets foreign pledge In every deal and every trade The hidden ways must be displayed
