Fighting For The Money (SUNO SKETCH : 2026 17 : TAKE 04)

Fighting for Our Money Verse 1 They stand at the podium, hand on the heart Promise the kitchen table, tear us apart Say “family first” with a polished smile Then move the decimal, mile by mile Receipts get buried, questions stall It’s not a safety net—it’s a waterfall From our checks to a backroom ledger Everybody eats but the pledge-holder Pre-Chorus They say it’s mercy, say it’s care But follow the trail—ain’t nobody there Chorus They’re not fighting for our family They’re fighting for our money Dress it up in righteous words Then pass it to their buddies April comes, the bill comes due Same old song, a different suit They’re not fighting for our family They’re fighting for our money Verse 2 Invoices for kids that never showed Miles of rail to nowhere roads Programs built on paper-thin lies Attendance inked, accountability dies Every scandal’s “complex,” every fix is “soon” But the clock keeps ticking in a rented room We tighten belts, they widen gates Call it progress—call it fate Pre-Chorus If it’s about us, prove it plain Show the work. Show the gain. Chorus They’re not fighting for our family They’re fighting for our money Paint it green, paint it fair Then route it through a honey tree We pay the tax, we take the bruise They toast the night with our excuse They’re not fighting for our family They’re fighting for our money Bridge Trust is a vault, not a slush-filled cup Guard it like it’s your own grown up Name the thieves, cut the cord Serve the people—keep the score If you misspend, you make it right Sunlight first, then do the fight Break No more slogans, no more spin If you care, let the audits in Final Chorus They’re not fighting for our family They’re fighting for our money Say “affordable,” count the costs Watch it vanish by the dozens We don’t ask for miracles Just honest math and open doors They’re not fighting for our family They’re fighting for our money Outro Treat the trust like it’s sacred ground Or don’t be shocked when the truth gets loud
