[Verse 1] You shake my hand Then sign the deal Smile for the cameras Spin the wheel Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words You pledge the earth Then sell the ground Call it “growth” while you tear towns down Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words [Chorus] Raise your hands if you’re tired of talking We want change Not another warning Put it in the law Not the slogan board We remember every broken oath Every “trust me” We remember And we’re keeping score Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words [Verse 2] You say “for all” but mean “for few” We count the cuts while they favor you Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words You post a quote Then dodge the vote Let justice drown while you rock the boat Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words [Bridge] We’re marching slow But the steps add up Every small push Gonna tip that cup Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words From paper signs to the ballot box We’ll shake these keys till they break your locks Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words Actions speak louder than words [Chorus]
