[Verse 1]
There was a time when truth drew blood,
When lies would cost you skin.
Now money talks, the courts look away,
And sin just cashes in.
[Verse 2]
Facts laid bare under oath and light,
Still they spit the same refrain.
Call the fire “weaponized,”
Blame the smoke, deny the flame.
[Pre-Chorus]
Buy the megaphone, drown the sound,
Say it loud enough — it’s real now.
[Chorus]
People of the lie,
Trading truth for power.
People of the lie,
Counting coins by the hour.
People of the lie,
When money speaks, justice dies.
[Verse 3]
Bigger the lie, the faster it flies,
Fed by fear and screens.
Ritual words, tribal signs,
Loyalty over what’s seen.
[Bridge]
Say it calm. Say it clean.
Facts don’t shout — they lean.
You don’t need rage to bend the law,
Just donors and a screen.
[Break – Drums Only]
(low, slow, heartbeat drums)
[Final Chorus]
People of the lie,
Calling darkness “choice.”
People of the lie,
Silencing the honest voice.
People of the lie,
When truth won’t sell, it’s thrown aside.
[Outro]
If reality’s optional,
Democracy pays the price.
