[Intro] [Filtered voice] For thirty years they said Linux would have its year… [Instrumental rise] [Verse 1] For thirty years they said Linux would have its year Every January moved the line The desktop lived forever in tomorrow Always coming, never quite on time We built the pieces, broke and fixed them Watched the rough edges disappear After all those years of saying “next one” Something different happened here [Pre-Chorus] No more waiting for permission No more almost, no more soon Turn it on and let it breathe now The future finally filled the room [Chorus] Twenty twenty-six The year of the Linux desktop No more maybe, no more next We are already here Omarchy on the desktop Oligarchy at the gate Open source belongs to everyone Don’t let money choose our fate Twenty twenty-six The year of the Linux desktop Everybody gets the code Don’t let the few decide where it goes [Post-Chorus] This year This year We are already here [Verse 2] Omarchy came with strong opinions Built the thing and let it run Arch below, Hyprland in motion Open code for everyone Then the money found the movement New names gathered at the door Nothing closed inside the source tree Still the balance shifted more [Pre-Chorus 2] Every line is there for reading Every branch is ours to take Millions build the open future Few should never choose its shape [Chorus] Twenty twenty-six The year of the Linux desktop No more maybe, no more next We are already here Elite capital, public code Power follows where wealth flows Take the funding, build the future Don’t surrender where it goes Twenty twenty-six The year of the Linux desktop Everybody gets the code Don’t let the few decide where it goes [Verse 3] The code is free, the runway isn’t Freedom still has bills to pay Open doors need real foundations Someone has to fund the way But money isn’t representation And a check is not a crown When the few begin to steer the many That’s when we start pushing back [Pre-Chorus 3] Keep the servers, keep the funding Keep the source where all can see Build the future with their millions But don’t sell the driver’s seat [Bridge] The repo’s open Keep power open The source is public Keep the future public Money can build it Money can bend it Take the backing Don’t surrender it What millions build Should never belong To a handful at the top [Breakdown - Call and Response] [Lead] OPEN SOURCE! [Gang] KEEP IT OPEN! [Lead] PUBLIC CODE! [Gang] KEEP IT PUBLIC! [Lead] WHO BUILDS IT? [Gang] ALL OF US! [Lead] WHO RULES IT? [Gang] NOT THE FEW! [Lead] WHAT YEAR? [Gang] THIS YEAR! [Lead] WHAT YEAR? [Gang] THIS YEAR! [Build] [Final Chorus] Twenty twenty-six The year of the Linux desktop No more maybe, no more next We are already here Omarchy on the desktop Oligarchy at the gate The revolution found its funding Now don’t let funding choose our fate Twenty twenty-six The year of the Linux desktop Everybody gets the code Don’t let the few decide where it goes Elite capital, public code Let the whole damn timeline know Build it open, keep it open That’s the only way we go Twenty twenty-six The year of the Linux desktop No more waiting, no more fear This time Linux owns the year [Outro] This year This year We are already here [Filtered voice] Next year has been cancelled.
