Lyrics
Start
Intro Narration
(Voice over static radio):
"Another politician promising change
While serving the machine..."
Pre-Intro
Distorted guitar feedback
Building tension
Three, two, one...
Intro
One, two, three, four!
Verse 1
From the suburbs to the senate floor
Selling out while wanting more
Fake rebellion in designer clothes
His true colors finally exposed
Pre-Chorus
The system's broken, can't you see?
They're all the same to you and me[Start]
Intro
One, two, three, four!
Verse 1
From the suburbs to the senate floor
Selling out while wanting more
Fake rebellion in designer clothes
His true colors finally exposed
Pre-Chorus
The system's broken, can't you see?
They're all the same to you and me
Chorus
Political puppets dancing on strings
Hidden agendas behind those wings
Another suit with nothing to say
Just another day, just another day
Post-Chorus
Hey! Hey! Hey![Chorus]
Political puppets dancing on strings
Hidden agendas behind those wings
Another suit with nothing to say
Just another day, just another day
Post-Chorus
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Verse 2
Born with a silver spoon in his mouth
Selling fake stories from down south
Claims he knows the working man's pain
While power and wealth are all he'll gain
Pre-Chorus
The system's broken, can't you see?
They're all the same to you and me
Chorus
Political puppets dancing on strings
Hidden agendas behind those wings
Another suit with nothing to say
Just another day, just another day
Post-Chorus
Hey! Hey! Hey![Bridge]
Democracy's a joke when money talks
The working class just pawns in their game
He'll shake your hand then stab you in the back
Different face but always the same
Guitar Solo
Verse 3
Middle America left in decay
While he sits in his mansion far away
Hillbilly fraud with corporate ties
Feeding the masses calculated lies
Pre-Chorus
The system's broken, can't you see?
They're all the same to you and me
Final Chorus
Political puppets dancing on strings
Hidden agendas behind those wings
Another suit with nothing to say
Just another day, just another day
Outro
(Shouted with increasing intensity)
Wake up! Fight back! Stand up! Fight back!
Wake up! Fight back! Stand up!
(Final crash)
[End][Final Chorus]
Political puppets dancing on strings
Hidden agendas behind those wings
Another suit with nothing to say
Just another day, just another day
Outro
(Shouted with increasing intensity)
Wake up! Fight back! Stand up! Fight back!
Wake up! Fight back! Stand up!
(Final crash)
Reprise
The hillbilly fraud with his plastic smile
Selling out people mile after mile
Corporate puppet with an empty soul
Power and greed his only goal
Final Bridge
When the system fails and the people rise
We'll tear down the walls built on their lies
No more puppets, no more games
Revolution calls out their names
Final Chorus - Extended
Political puppets dancing on strings
Hidden agendas behind those wings
Another suit with nothing to say
We won't take it, not one more day
Outro Chant
(Crowd chanting)
No more lies! No more hate![Outro Chant]
(Crowd chanting)
No more lies! No more hate!
No more pawns in their game of fate!
No more lies! No more hate!
(Guitar feedback fades)
Bonus Verse
False prophet selling American dreams
Nothing's ever what it really seems
Traded his values for a seat at the top
This runaway fraud train just won't stop
Call and Response
(What do we say to phonies like him?)
Fuck you!
(What do we do to liars in power?)
Fight back!
(What happens when people unite?)
We win!
Final Breakdown
His privilege disguised as hardship and pain
Corporate sellout with nothing to gain
For the common people he claims to defend
This charade is reaching its bitter end
Final Chant
(Building to a chaotic crescendo)
Rise up! Stand tall!
Break down the wall!
Rise up! Stand tall!
We won't fall!
(Instruments crash and distort)
End
