Verse 1 You took an oath in quiet rooms, Hand on law, not on a name Swore to guard a fragile thing While ambition called your flame This isn’t left, this isn’t right This isn’t red or blue This is the line you promised You would never let slip through Pre-Chorus The people sent you there to stand Not bow when power roars You weren’t crowned, you weren’t anointed You were sent to guard the doors Chorus Sixty-seven votes That’s the weight of truth That’s the sound of balance Breaking through Not revenge, not theater Not a partisan show It’s accountability For the oath you swore Sixty-seven votes History’s knock The Constitution asking Are you brave… or not? Verse 2 The founders knew the danger Of a crown dressed up as law They built a counterweight For when one man wants it all Three branches, equal ground No throne above the rest You were never meant to kneel You were meant to put it to the test Pre-Chorus 2 Power unchecked becomes a storm That swallows every shore If Congress will not draw the line Then what was it built for? Chorus Sixty-seven votes Not a grudge, not hate It’s the firewall Before it’s too late This isn’t about one man It’s the office, it’s the cost If law bends for loyalty Then the Republic’s lost Bridge If a president can break the law And face no consequence Then ballots fade to symbols And truth becomes pretense The Twenty-Fifth is not a threat It’s a safeguard in the frame For moments when the ship is lost And someone must stop the flame Verse 3 Don’t tell us “politics is hard” While the ground is giving way You don’t answer to a base You answer to the day When children ask what you did When the warning signs were clear Will you say “I feared my future” Or “I did my duty here”? Final Chorus Sixty-seven votes It’s not a war It’s the balance The founders wrote for moments like this one When silence costs more than truth When power must be checked By the courage of you Outro This isn’t vengeance This is care For the country that put you there History is watching And it’s calling your bluff Sixty-seven votes Is the moment Where enough …is enough.
