Politicians counting money


Verse 1
In the shadow of the city, where the broken dreams reside,
Politicians counting money while the people fight to survive.
They wear their suits like armor, but their hearts are made of stone,
Taxing all our hopes away, leaving us a hollow home.

Pre-Chorus
We raise our fists to the sky,
Screaming out, we won’t comply.

Chorus
Living in the land of lies, where the truth is buried deep,
Corruption in their hungry eyes, while the honest hearts weep.
We won’t let them tear us down, we’ll stand and fight for what is true,
In this country we love, we’ll rise above, we’ll see it through.

Verse 2
Promises like poison, they seep into our veins,
They build their castles high, while we’re shackled by their chains.
They sell our future for a dime, and leave us in the dust,
But we won’t bow, we won’t break, we’ve got fire in our guts.

Pre-Chorus
We raise our voices to the night,
For justice, for what is right.

Chorus
Living in the land of lies, where the truth is buried deep,
Corruption in their hungry eyes, while the honest hearts weep.
We won’t let them tear us down, we’ll stand and fight for what is true,
In this country we love, we’ll rise above, we’ll see it through.

Bridge
Burn the papers, break the chains,
We’ll rewrite the rules, we’ll light the flames.
For every soul that’s been betrayed,
We’ll fight until the end of days.

Chorus
Living in the land of lies, where the truth is buried deep,
Corruption in their hungry eyes, while the honest hearts weep.
We won’t let them tear us down, we’ll stand and fight for what is true,
In this country we love, we’ll rise above, we’ll see it through.

Outro
In the ashes of their greed, a new dawn will arise,
For the people, for our freedom, we’ll reclaim our skies.
In this country we love, we’ll rise above, we’ll see it through,
We’ll take back what is ours, for me and you.
