The Great American Betrayal

Oh, we’re bleeding red, white, and pale, In the Great American Betrayal.

Verse 1

Once we dreamed of freedom, once we dreamed of light,
But the shadows grew taller in the silence of the night.
He came with a promise, “I’ll make you great again,”
But he sold out the people for the gold of wicked men.

Chorus

This is the Great American Betrayal,
Where the rich grow fat and the hungry wail.
He tore the flag and sold the dream,
Turned our justice into a scheme.
Oh, we’re bleeding red, white, and pale,
In the Great American Betrayal.

Verse 2

He crowned the liars, raised the thieves,
Built his empire on broken knees.
Our children buried by guns in the street,
While he dines with tyrants and calls it peace.

Chorus

This is the Great American Betrayal,
Where the prophets of greed sing gospel tales.
He stole from the poor, gave the crown to the strong,
And told the faithful to sing along.
Oh, freedom’s ghost is up for sale,
In the Great American Betrayal.

Bridge

From the fields of the South to the rusted mills,
He promised the cure, but delivered the pills.
An empire of ashes, a kingdom of lies,
The people keep paying as democracy dies.

Chorus (lifted, anthemic)

This is the Great American Betrayal,
A nation crucified on a golden nail.
But the people will rise, we’ve been here before,
From the ashes we’ll march, we’ll fight, we’ll roar.
The truth will break the iron veil,
And end this Great American Betrayal.

Outro (soft, haunting)

Tag, we’re it — the call is ours…
To heal the wounds, to mend the scars.
The dream’s not dead, though the night is long,
If we hold the truth, we’ll right the wrong.
