[INTRO — DISTORTED BROADCAST] [fx: tape_hiss + radio_static + distant crowd noise] (Voice A — filtered, official tone) We stand for freedom… democracy… (Voice B — raw, cutting in) Fuck that. (shouted — gang) Fuck Trump! Fuck Vance! An’ all their mates wi’ power in their hands! [fx: signal glitch] [VERSE 1 — SIGNAL BREACH] (Voice B) Flag in yer face, but yer hands are bare, sellin’ off freedom like nobody cares. (Voice A — echoing, distorted) Freedom… security… order… (Voice B) Talkin’ points like weapons, day in, day out, truth on rations, lies just floodin’ out. [PRE-CHORUS — INTERFERENCE] (Voice A — breaking) This is… necessary… (Voice B) Necessary for who? (static swell) [CHORUS — COLLISION] (gang vocals) Stars! Stripes! Bullshit parade! Democracy sold like a cheap charade! Shoutin’ so loud no one can hear, how yer tearin’ down what used t’be clear! [VERSE 2 — CONTROL LOOP] (Voice A — confident, cold) For the people… for stability… (Voice B — interrupting) “People” on yer lips, but it’s profit tha means, every crisis a deal, every life in between. (Voice A — glitching) Safety… borders… protection… (Voice B) Borders built on fear, walls built on lies, an’ tha calls it a plan while the whole thing dies. [CHORUS — COLLISION] (gang vocals) Stars! Stripes! Bullshit parade! Facts get buried in t’noise tha made! Shoutin’ so loud no one can tell, how yer twistin’ truth straight down t’hell! [BREAK — SYSTEM FAILURE] [fx: heavy distortion + signal tearing] (Voice A — collapsing) We… ask for your… trust… (Voice B — slow, right in mic) Tha wants applause? (pause) Here’s what tha gets: Nowt. Fuck you all. Pack o’ daft clowns. [fx: hard cut → silence → low hum] [BRIDGE — OVERRIDE] (Voice B — building) No hero, no saviour, no master plan, just same old shite in a different brand. (Voice A — faint, fading) Order… unity… (Voice B — louder) We’re not buyin’ it, we’re steppin’ out, turn it up loud an’ we’ll drown tha out! [FINAL CHORUS — SIGNAL TAKEOVER] (gang vocals, chaotic) Stars! Stripes! Bullshit parade! No god, no state – just a masquerade! When truth is burnin’, we’ll stand an’ roar: WE DON’T BELIEVE A WORD NO MORE! [OUTRO — DEAD SIGNAL] [fx: feedback → tape slowdown] (Voice A — barely there) …democracy… (Voice B — calm, final) Nah. Not like this. [tape_stop]
