Harbor hypocrite

Hypocrite Harbor

(Verse 1)

You stand on the docks in your oyster boots

Talkin’ like you’re one of us, tellin’ hard luck truths

Say you’re just a Mainer fightin’ for the little guy

But there’s big money shadows standin’ right by your side

You didn’t roll in rich, nah, you built your name

Out there on the water earnin’ honest pay

And people respected that, they respected the grind

Till the millionaires and billionaires got in behind

(Chorus)

Hypocrite Harbor, that’s where you sail

Claimin’ grassroots while the rich men pay

Talkin’ like a rebel, actin’ like you’re clean

While out-of-state money floods the Maine scene

You can wear the boots and work the bay

But money talks louder at the end of the day

You say you’re for the people, but people can see

A grassroots man don’t need billionaire money

(Verse 2)

You called rural folks racist, stupid, blind

Then turned right around askin’ for their time

Said you became communist after servin’ this land

Hard to sell Mainers on that kind of stand

Talked down police while preachin’ unity

That ain’t exactly buildin’ community

And every time the pressure starts closin’ in

You blame the critics instead of lookin’ within

(Verse 3)

Now people remember every word you said

About victims takin’ blame inside their head

Then came the tattoo controversy blowin’ through town

And the old online posts keep draggin’ you down

You threw around words that Mainers don’t use

Made comments that lit political fuses

Criticized Israel, stirred more divide

Then acted shocked when people pushed back hard online

(Verse 4)

Now every ad sounds polished, every slogan rehearsed

National donors puttin’ Maine interests last instead of first

They see this state like a Senate chessboard game

And you became their piece the second the money came

Maybe you started honest, maybe you meant it true

But power’s got a funny way of changin’ people too

Cause once the checks clear, strings get tied

And sooner or later somebody owns the ride

(Bridge)

Maine ain’t for sale to the highest bidder

And folks up here still know what honesty is

You can fool the cameras, fool the news

But working people know when they’re bein’ used

(Final Chorus)

Hypocrite Harbor, tides roll fast

Truth always catches up in the end at last

You can wave that flag and play that part

But Mainers know what’s real in their heart

Grassroots means Mainers standin’ tall

Not outside money buyin’ it all

And no amount of cash will ever make it right

When you preach one thing and live another life
