[Intro]
Count the flags, count the lies
Same old suits in different ties
[Verse 1]
Red says freedom, then they bill us for the air
Blue says justice, while the donors buy the chair
One sells fear from a folding table
One calls greed a rescue label
Every promise gets a camera and a grin
Then the backroom deals come crawling in
[Pre-Chorus]
They draw a line and tell us pick a side
While the money walks straight through the divide
[Chorus]
Both sides are fucked up, hear the whole room shout
Different painted banners, same machine sold out
Politicians wrecking everything they touch
Taking from the many, calling it not much
Both sides are fucked up, no mascot, no crown
They keep turning our country upside down
[Verse 2]
They argue on the screen till the rent climbs high
Trade a thousand empty words for a school to die
One bans books, one bans a neighbor
Both forget the people doing all the labor
They weaponize the truth, then complain about the flame
Make a career from keeping strangers full of blame
[Pre-Chorus]
They draw a line and tell us pick a side
While the money walks straight through the divide
[Chorus]
Both sides are fucked up, hear the whole room shout
Different painted banners, same machine sold out
Politicians wrecking everything they touch
Taking from the many, calling it not much
Both sides are fucked up, no mascot, no crown
They keep turning our country upside down
[Bridge]
No savior in a podium
No miracle in a poll
The fix is not a slogan
The fix is taking back control
From the factory floor to the county line
We see the trick beneath the party sign
You can keep your polished speeches and your staged applause
We are done being weapons in your culture wars
[Final Chorus]
Both sides are fucked up, hear the whole room shout
Different painted banners, same machine sold out
Politicians wrecking everything they touch
Taking from the many, calling it not much
Both sides are fucked up, let the false flags fall
No party gets a pass, no king gets it all
Both sides are fucked up, but we’re still here
Louder than the lobbyists, louder than the fear
[Outro]
Count the flags, count the lies
We see through the costume now
No more sides to sanctify
We take the power back somehow
