Song: “No Kings in the People’s House” [Verse 1 — hush/poised] They took a hammer to the East Wing wall, said “history can wait,” A ballroom for a thousand eyes, while paychecks show up late. “Shut it down,” they say again, unless the care is cut, But mothers, vets, and workers know whose future’s on the hook. [Pre-Chorus] You crown yourself in videos, laugh at cardboard signs, But the crown gets heavy, sir, when truth redraws the lines. [Chorus — big, defiant, gospel lift] No kings in the People’s House, No gold that buys our vows. You can dim the press and flood the streets, But you won’t silence how we speak. We’re louder than your banquet sound— This is our country, not your crown. No kings, no thrones, Only the people—this house is our home. [Verse 2 — gritty, grounded] Reporters pack their pens away when rules erase the light, Credentials traded for a hush that doesn’t sit quite right. You send the troops to city streets and call it keeping peace, But power without questions is a power without leash. [Pre-Chorus 2] You fired the choir, kept the stage—now hear the choir outside, From food-bank lines to union halls, the chorus will not hide. [Chorus] No kings in the People’s House, No gold that buys our vows. You can dim the press and flood the streets, But you won’t silence how we speak. We’re louder than your banquet sound— This is our country, not your crown. No kings, no thrones, Only the people—this house is our home. [Bridge — quiet to roar] We name the sick, the laid-off, the shut-out at the door, The ones who lost their coverage while you marble-polish floors. We’ll hold the line for dignity; we’ll open every shade, Because sunlight is the oxygen for nations unafraid. [Final Chorus — full choir] No kings in the People’s House, No price on sacred nouns: The press, the vote, the right to breathe— The truths we will not cede. If you raise a hall to praise yourself, We’ll fill the streets with something else— A promise spoken, fierce and loud: No kings. Just people. We are the crowd. [Outro — whispered resolve] Build your ballroom, raise your glass— The people’s echo outlasts.
