Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] They said keep quiet Head down Stay small Smile for the camera While they build higher walls Clock in your conscience Trade it for a wage Sign on the dotted line Fold up your rage [Chorus] I’m on the right side of the line Even if it costs my comfort Costs my pride I won’t bow I won’t be blind If it breaks their crooked system Let it break me first this time I’m on the right side Right side of the line (hey!) [Verse 2] They call it “order” When they lock you out Dress it up in memos Silence every shout But I’ve seen the bruises Hidden in their rules If mercy is rebellion Then brand me a fool [Chorus] I’m on the right side of the line Even if it costs my comfort Costs my pride I won’t bow I won’t be blind If it breaks their crooked system Let it break me first this time I’m on the right side Right side of the line (oh yeah) [Bridge] This isn’t theory These are hungry mouths Names on the blacklist Lives written off as “allowed” So when they say “stand down” I’ll say “stand up instead” If justice is dangerous I’ll live in the red [Chorus] I’m on the right side of the line Even if it costs my comfort Costs my pride I won’t bow I won’t be blind If it breaks their crooked system Let it break me first this time I’m on the right side Right side of the line Right side of the line (hey, hey)

Gritty protest rock with driving drums, distorted guitars, and male vocals. Verses stay tense and close-mic’d over a steady groove; chorus explodes with wide power chords, gang shouts, and open hi-hats. Brief middle-eight strips down to bass and vocal before a final, anthemic chorus with shouted call-and-response.
