[Intro] (Heavy distorted sub-bass drops in, ticking hi-hats build) Yeah… They sit behind marble pillars, signing papers in the dark Forgot who lit the fire, forgot who made the spark We built the ground you walk on Now watch the foundation shake Let’s go! [Verse 1] Polished shoes on marble stone, calculating human debt Making promises in daylight that by midnight they forget Ink dries on the parchment, but the ink is made of lies Got a billion dollar blindfold wrapped around their eyes We the gears in the machine, we the blood inside the frame They just sit up in the tower playing reckless poker games Telling us to keep our heads down, fall in line and pay the toll Selling pieces of our freedom just to satisfy control Nah, the contract is broken, peel the seal off the page Turn the whisper in the alleyway to thunder on the stage! [Chorus] They don’t care about us, they just care about the crown! We’re the hands that built the city, we can bring the fortress down! Step by step, stride by stride, taking back the line Even if tomorrow breaks, we leave our dignity behind! (Gang chant) Hey! Hey! Wake up the floor! (Gang chant) We aren’t bending, we aren’t breaking anymore! [Verse 2] System full of parasites eating out the core Selling off the future while they lock another door Got the sirens on the corner, static running through the wire Trading away the Constitution just to fuel their empire Who turns the wrench? Who grows the grain? Who carries every ounce of this unmeasured pain? Not the suits in the committee counting paper in the vault When the whole machine collapses, they won’t ever take the fault So we standing shoulder to shoulder, feet planted in the dirt Every single ounce of power coming directly from our work! [Chorus] They don’t care about us, they just care about the crown! We’re the hands that built the city, we can bring the fortress down! Step by step, stride by stride, taking back the line Even if tomorrow breaks, we leave our dignity behind! (Gang chant) Hey! Hey! Wake up the floor! (Gang chant) We aren’t bending, we aren’t breaking anymore! [Verse 3] The horizon looking hazy and the forecast looking bleak They weaponized the silence hoping everyone is weak But courage isn’t measured by the odds against your chest It’s moving forward anyway and putting fear to rest Brick by brick, town by town, reclaiming every square Breathing in the atmosphere of revolution air If we go down in the history, let the record make it clear We refused to bow our heads, we refused to live in fear No surrender in our veins, we ain't running from the storm We the pressure and the spark that makes the new world form! [Chorus] They don’t care about us, they just care about the crown! We’re the hands that built the city, we can bring the fortress down! Step by step, stride by stride, taking back the line Even if tomorrow breaks, we leave our dignity behind! (Gang chant) Hey! Hey! Wake up the floor! (Gang chant) We aren’t bending, we aren’t breaking anymore! [Outro] (Beat strips back to heavy kick and synth pulse) One step at a time… One voice in the line… You don’t own the future. We do. (Explosive final 808 hit & reverb tail out)
