⸻
[Verse 1 – Raw, vulnerable, minimal acoustic]
They shook our hands with hidden knives,
Signed their names while taking lives.
Promised justice in a suit and tie,
Now we’re out here just tryin’ to survive.
They eat while we ration,
They sleep while we bleed,
They vote on our future,
Without meeting our need.
⸻
[Chorus – Emotional rise, pleading vocals]
We the broken, we the bruised,
We the ones they always use.
Built their towers, fought their wars,
Now we’re locked outside the doors.
But we still stand, we still scream,
Still believe in that old dream.
You can silence all you see,
But you won’t take the fight from me.
⸻
[Verse 2 – A little more power, more guitar presence]
They write the laws with smoke and gold,
While our stories go untold.
They kneel for cameras, then turn their backs,
While we carry all the cracks.
We are nurses, vets, and sons,
Working doubles, loading guns.
We were never meant to win,
But we rise again… again.
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken-sung, with intensity building]
We begged for peace — they raised the price,
We cried for change — they rolled the dice.
Now every state line feels like a wall,
But I was born to break them all.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Full rock climax, thunderous and defiant]
WE THE BROKEN, WE THE BRUISED,
WE THE FIRE THEY NEVER USED.
BUILT THEIR COUNTRY, PAID THEIR DUES,
AND WE’RE DONE BEING THEIR EXCUSE.
WE STILL STAND, WE STILL BLEED,
BUT THIS TIME — WE’RE TAKING LEAD.
WE’RE THE ONES THEY TRIED TO ERASE,
BUT WE’RE COMIN’ TO TAKE OUR PLACE!
⸻
[Outro – Quiet again, but proud]
We the people… we remember.
And we never forget… November.
