The Billionaires Took the Bench

The billionaires took the bench, Now the laws are rigged, the lines are etched

(Verse 1)
Five black robes with billionaire strings
Cracked the Court and sold the dream
A nation bled for liberty
Now drowns beneath the money stream
They crowned the kings we overthrew
Let fascists march in red, white, blue
The Constitution’s torn in two—
And justice whispers, “What did you do?”

(Chorus)
The billionaires took the bench,
Now the laws are rigged, the lines are etched
But we’re not bowing, we’re not through—
We’ll raise this flag 'til it’s red, white, true
We’ve beaten tyrants once before,
We’ll break their grip and storm the door
This is the fight for our soul’s defense—
'Cause the billionaires took the bench

(Verse 2)
From Lincoln’s dreams to Roosevelt’s stand
They built a country bold and grand
But every win, the rich rolled back
With poisoned law and shadowed PACs
They gutted truth, they bought the press
Rewrote the past to serve the blessed
But people see the game they play—
And rage is rising like judgment day

(Bridge)
You can jail the law, but not the will
You can stack the court, but we’re climbing still
From Selma’s road to Seneca Falls,
The people rise when freedom calls

(Final Chorus)
The billionaires took the bench,
But we’ve got fire, we’ve got strength
You can’t bribe hearts, you can’t buy hope—
This fight’s our own, we’ll never choke
We’ll write new laws, we’ll cast new light,
We’ll bring the truth back into sight
It ends with us—this dark pretense—
'Cause the billionaires took the bench
