A protest song for a broken system…

Don’t know about you, but I’m about fed up with this blatant authoritarian blitzkrieg. Writing songs about it is just the first step. The real goal? Join the march, remove the roadblocks to our dwindling freedom, and fight until democracy is reborn. Let’s stay fired up until our country is whole again—and the mafia-thugs who’ve hijacked our government feel the sting of the voting-booth guillotine. Who’s with me?

Viva la América!

🎵 Verse 1

Chords: Dm – G – Dm – A | Dm – Bb – F – C | Gm – Dm – Bb – A | Dm
Lyrics:
The courthouse steps are cracked with time,
The marble faded, stained with crime
Where justice stood with steady hands,
Now silence settles on the land.

The gavel used to echo wide,
Like thunder rolling through the pines,
But now it’s just a hollow sound,
Where power’s bought and truth ain’t found.

🎵 Verse 2

Chords: Dm – F – C – G | Dm – Bb – F – A | Gm – Dm – Bb – A | Dm
Lyrics:
He fired the ones who spoke too loud,
The ones who wouldn’t kiss the crown,
Signed papers soaked in smoke and pride,
Let guilty men just walk outside.

The faithful got their pardons clean,
The rest were swept behind the screen.
We used to read the law like prayer —
Now it’s just ink in poisoned air.

🎵 Chorus 1

Chords: Bb – F – C – Dm | Gm – Dm – Bb – A | Dm
Lyrics:
The law don’t live here anymore,
Just shadows pacing polished floors.
You can swear your oath and shut the door,
But the law don’t live here anymore.

🎵 Verse 3

Chords: Dm – G – C – A | Dm – Bb – F – C | Gm – Dm – Bb – A | Dm
Lyrics:
The streets are lined with quiet eyes,
That turn away when justice dies.
And those in robes who once stood tall,
Now tremble when the tyrants call.

🎵 Verse 4

Chords: Dm – Bb – F – C | Dm – Gm – Dm – A | Gm – Dm – Bb – A | Dm
Lyrics:
I ain’t no judge, I ain’t no saint,
But I know power when it ain’t.
And if we turn our faces gray,
The night will steal the light away.

So write it loud on every wall,
The truth don’t kneel, it don’t crawl.
A whisper grows when it’s ignored —
That’s how the flood breaks down the door.

🎵 Chorus 2 (Variation)

Chords: Bb – F – C – Dm | Gm – Dm – Bb – A | Dm
Lyrics:
The truth don’t walk these halls no more,
She left her scales outside the door.
They traded blindfolds in for war —
The truth don’t walk these halls no more.

🎵 Outro – Spoken

Chords: Dm or open (solo guitar fade)
The law don’t live here… but she’s still out there, waiting.
