[Verse]
The gavel's heavy but the hand is light
No bond to hold
No vow in sight
They sit in chairs carved from oak and gold
But promises fade
They grow so cold
[Prechorus]
Where's the fire
Where's the fight
Why's the crowd gone quiet tonight
[Chorus]
Where did the people go
Why don’t they rise
Don’t they know
The power’s ours
It’s in our hands
Not in their castles
Not in their plans
[Verse 2]
A badge of honor
A hollow crown
When duty calls
They turn it down
The papers signed
But hearts don’t bleed
For the ones they swore to serve and lead
[Prechorus]
Who’s gonna ask
Who’s gonna shout
Why don’t we call the liars out
[Chorus]
Where did the people go
Why don’t they rise
Don’t they know
The power’s ours
It’s in our hands
Not in their castles
Not in their plans
