Chairman of the Wrecking Ball

Chairman of the Wrecking Ball by TATTBOY HOLDEN - 13/9/2026 [Intro] [spoken, cold, distorted] You got your warning. Now get out of my building. [Verse 1] You sold the real thing for a cleaner chart Left the room full of husks and called it smart I watched good machines get buried alive While you smiled through the sales floor lights I’m not here for polite I’m here for the part you killed Cut the suits [Pre-Chorus] Feed the flame Burn the rot out, bolt by bolt Bring back thunder, bring back blood Put a live wire in the bowtie’s throat If it won’t bite, if it won’t sing It ain’t worth a goddamn thing [Bridge] [half-spoken, unhinged] You want a crossover? Take it to marketing. You want something that lasts? Stop handing it to suits. [Final Chorus] I’m the chairman of the wrecking ball Detroit’s awake and it’s ten feet tall No more fear, no more crawl Build it like hell — or don’t build at all Steel and fire, gasoline hymn Cut the dead weight, let the wolves back in If it won’t roar, if it won’t swing It ain’t worth a goddamn thing [Outro] [spoken] Meeting adjourned. Now build something that earns the noise. I watched the good names get stripped for parts Sold off clean with a dead-eyed shrug Saturn gone, Pontiac still in the glass Like a ghost that won’t stop knocking [Verse 2] It ain’t worth a goddamn thing If it won’t bite, if it won’t sing Put a live wire in the bowtie’s throat Burn the rot out, bolt by bolt Bring back thunder, bring back blood No more beige, no more fraud No more jellybean, no more gray If it’s soft, it falls — I’m tearing down the wall I’m the chairman of the wrecking ball [Chorus] Reset the game Drain the swamp If it’s soft, it falls — I’m tearing down the wall I’m the chairman of the wrecking ball [Chorus] Not apologies, then Build machines Start again Shut it down [Pre-Chorus] I want every green light to detonate
