Is the Assault on Democracy Stronger Than We Think?
They’re rewriting every promise, Faster than we can blink
[Verse 1 ]
We were told the vote was sacred,
That the truth would never sink,
But the billionaires are smiling,
While they’re pouring out the ink.
They’re buying up the judges,
And the headlines start to shrink —
Tell me now, my friend,
Is the assault on democracy stronger than we think?
[Chorus]
It’s a quiet kind of thunder,
Rolling right beyond the brink,
Not a war with guns or soldiers,
But with money, laws, and ink.
They’re rewriting every promise,
Faster than we can blink —
Yeah, the assault on democracy
Is stronger than we think.
[Verse 2 ]
They’ve been working in the shadows,
While we’re shouting in the streets,
Turning freedom into slogans,
Till it crumbles at their feet.
And the line between the people
And the powerful starts to shrink —
Tell me true, my friend,
Is the assault on democracy stronger than we think?
[Bridge]
The flag still waves above us,
But the meaning’s wearing thin,
When the rules are bent for tyrants,
And the truth won’t let us in.
Still we march, still we’re hoping,
Still we’re closer to the brink…
[Final Chorus]
It’s a war fought with silence,
And it’s closer than we think.
If we don’t stand together,
It’ll vanish in a blink.
They’re building while we’re dreaming,
Brick by moneyed brick —
Yeah, the assault on democracy
Is stronger than we think.
[Outro]
Yeah… stronger than we think.
Stronger than we think…
