The GOP’s 60-Year Conspiracy to Kill Our Democracy: None Dare Call It Treason—But I Will

They called it saving freedom, but they built an iron cage None dare call it treason—but I will on this stage

(Verse 1)

It started back in ‘64, a whisper in the halls Goldwater’s warning call, behind the country’s walls Stormer’s book was passed around, fear was set in stone The rich men lit the torches, claimed the Reds would take our home

(Pre-Chorus)

They sold the fear, they sold the lie Wrapped in flags and battle cries

(Chorus)

The G-O-P’s long game, sixty years in disguise Selling fear to the people, feeding power to the lies They called it saving freedom, but they built an iron cage None dare call it treason—but I will on this stage

(Verse 2)

Russell Kirk laid out the plan, keep the working class in line Let the wealthy pull the strings, call it order, call it fine They crushed the unions, closed the schools, made the people crawl Sold the dream on TV screens, but took it from us all

(Pre-Chorus)

They took the wages, took the fight Turned our futures into night

(Chorus)

The G-O-P’s long game, sixty years in disguise Selling fear to the people, feeding power to the lies They called it saving freedom, but they built an iron cage None dare call it treason—but I will on this stage

(Bridge)

Reagan broke the workers, Bush let billionaires feast Clinton played along, let the wolves off the leash Now Trump’s their golden idol, their fascist fantasy Backed by foreign powers, tearing at democracy

(Verse 3)

They tell us we’re the danger, that justice is a crime But we see through the darkness, we won’t stand the test of time The people rise like thunder, we’re stronger than their chains History is watching, and it’s calling out their names

(Chorus)

The G-O-P’s long game, sixty years in disguise Selling fear to the people, feeding power to the lies They called it saving freedom, but they built an iron cage None dare call it treason—but I will on this stage

(Outro)

The tide is turning, truth is clear The fight for justice starts right here The game is up, their time is through Now democracy’s calling—you know what to do
