[Verse 1] It is what it is Has been my decree But that's just bullshit They can't weaponize me. I'll be okay. It'll all work out. Just things I say, Some wisdom I would tout. [Pre-Chorus] Just stay in line Keep heads down Just don’t bow To the unjustified crown. [Chorus] There's nothing I can do My hands are tied There's nothing I can do I’ve let democracy die. [Verse 2] They took their time Chipped away the stone Told us we were safe Till the walls were gone. The ink still dries, But the page is torn The past rewrites Like it’s always been worn. [Pre-Chorus] Avert your eyes Just stay low Watch what you say Or strung up in a row. [Chorus] There's nothing I can do My hands are tied There's nothing I can do I’ve let democracy die. [Bridge] They hold the chains But I tied the knot And when they came, I gave what I got. [Outro] If I scream, will it matter? If I fight, will I fall? If I speak, will they listen? Was I ever here at all? There's nothing I can do… (But what if that's a lie?)
