Precinct by Precinct

Eleven months, no saviors comin’ No magic tweet, no chosen one Just folding chairs and boring rooms And power built when the work gets done

[Verse 1]
They keep tellin’ me to scream at the screen
Shake my fist at the DNC
Post my rage, burn my time
Call it politics, call it “being free”

But I watched the other side learn fast
They didn’t cry when they lost that year
They went quiet, went local
Went door to door, precinct to precinct, seat by seat
Power doesn’t fall from the sky.
It rises… from the bottom.

[Chorus]
You don’t change a party from the outside lookin’ in
You don’t win a war just complainin’ again
They took the house by the keys and the locks
While we were shoutin’, they were claimin’ the blocks
If you wanna turn the tide, if you wanna redeem it
It’s precinct by precinct
Or you don’t mean it

[Verse 2]
They funded spoilers, split the vote
Knew the rules, and we took the bait
First past the post, winner takes all
And we’re shocked when we lose the state

They said, “Be a player in the real damn game”
Not a comment, not a sign
They filled the chairs we left empty
Now they’re runnin’ the country on our dime
This isn’t theory.
This is how they took control.
And it’s how we take it back.

[Chorus]
You don’t change a party with purity tests
You change it by showin’ up more than the rest
Ten damn votes can decide the plot
Who writes the platform, who gets the shot
If you wanna rebuild it, not just demean it
It’s precinct by precinct
Or you don’t mean it

[Bridge]
Eleven months, no saviors comin’
No magic tweet, no chosen one
Just folding chairs and boring rooms
And power built when the work gets done

[Final Chorus]
They didn’t beg, they didn’t wait
They took the party, changed the fate
So ask yourself when the talk is finished
Are you gonna act—or just act offended?
If you wanna win it, if you wanna redeem it
It’s precinct by precinct

[Outro]
So what are you gonna do about it?
