If the People Unite (Original Song)
Lyrics:
A seat forged from echoes of falsehoods and lies,
The law bends and breaks as the ruler decides
No throne, yet he’d reign with a scepter and pen,
The people subject to the will of one man
Cause nowhere is safe in this world of change,
Consent is manufactured through bigotry and rage,
So billionaires and fascists can rule without a fight,
But their will can be broken if the people unite
An Empire built on the backs of the poor,
Centuries of suffering as the profit margins soar
Through violent submission and million-dollar bribes
Our government sold out to private enterprise
Cause nowhere is safe in this world of change,
Consent is manufactured through bigotry and rage,
So billionaires and fascists can rule without a fight,
But their will can be broken if the people unite
Through christo-fascist fantasies of race and purity
They condition the people to scorn humanity
We abandon Ukrayina to the Russian advance
While we arm the Israelis as they burn the Levant
Cause nowhere is safe in this world of change,
Consent is manufactured through bigotry and rage,
So billionaires and fascists can rule without a fight,
But their will can be broken if the people unite
We need more than hope; we need people to rise,
No more denial, or political lies
In the wreckage and ruin, the truth starts to show,
Our choices have led us to this world of woe
Cause nowhere is safe in this world of change,
Consent is manufactured through bigotry and rage,
So billionaires and fascists can rule without a fight,
But their will can be broken if the people unite
But their will can be broken if the people unite
