The Putinization of America
They sell us out in plain sight, no need to hide the crime, Just pledge your love to power, and you’re safe most every time.
[Verse 1]
They said it couldn’t happen here, but it’s happening right now,
The billionaires write policy while the rest of us ask how.
They gut the schools and hospitals, they bleed the working class,
While golden jets and Mar-a-Lago nights are flowing high on gas.
[Verse 2]
They sell us out in plain sight, no need to hide the crime,
Just pledge your love to power, and you’re safe most every time.
Regulations bought and sold like favors in the dark,
And truth is just a whisper in a cage without a spark.
[Chorus]
🎵 This is the Putinization of America,
Where loyalty buys power, and corruption makes the law.
They crown the kings with wallets fat,
And silence those who fight back.
The dream is bleeding, can’t you see?
They’re selling out our liberty.
This is the Putinization of the land of the free. 🎵
[Verse 3]
A trillion for the rocket men, another for the banks,
While mothers skip their medicine and veterans walk the planks.
They slap a tariff here and there and shake a foreign hand,
But it’s gifts behind the curtains that decide who owns the land.
[Bridge] (quiet, haunting)
A senator speaks truth at dawn,
He’s mocked, dismissed, and told move on.
The ones who dare to break the line
Are crushed beneath the grand design.
[Verse 4]
The rich get richer, rules get bent,
The working class gets ‘thoughts and prayers’ for rent.
It’s not a bug, it’s the machine,
Democracy’s just paint on the regime.
[Chorus]
🎵 This is the Putinization of America,
Where justice bows to billionaires and ethics can be bought.
They kiss the ring, they sign the checks,
They break our backs, then place the bets.
If this is freedom, it’s a fraud—
A palace built on what we’ve lost.
This is the Putinization of the land of the free. 🎵
[Outro] (slower, final plea)
Will we rise or will we kneel?
Will we break or will we heal?
The clock is ticking, truth’s on trial—
We’ve got one vote left… to reclaim the dial.
Do people like you ever run for office? I don't enjoy politics and I feel like the last decade has been a slap in the face to folks who are unaware this country's distorted vision of the will of the people. Is there hope of pulling out of this trajectory or is the combination of this county's most despotic thug and the world's richest Nazi too much?
