The Day Democracy Died Lyrics

Oh say can you see our democracy

Has started to circle the drain

You won't have the right

To carry or fight or say what you want to be said

It all goes away on the very first day

That democracy's finally dead

Yes it all goes away on the very first day

that democracy's dead

You step over the line

Cause your cause is divine

Emboldening you for the fight

You can say what you say

And pray what you pray

The Constitution gives you the right

On the very first day your rights go away

And they jail you for what you said

Cause the constitution dies when

There are nothing but lies

It dies when democracy's dead.

Oh say can you see our democracy

Is starting to wear too thin

There's no truth in the news

Just a collection of views

To get you to listen to them

Yes, they'll cancel your vote

They'll say you're too woke

So you don't get a seat at the table

They don't like what you said cause it's blue and not red

And democracy's // just a fable.

If you think that's okay just wait for the day

They don't like the things you hold dear

They'll silence your voice and take away choice

And sell their agenda with fear

They hated the vote

Said "That's all she wrote"

We're takin Uncle Sam by storm

We'll win of course, cause we're gonna use force

What could possibly ever go wrong (be the harm)?

They only care if they win

They'll put in their friends

And they'll pack the courts with tricks

If they lose again

They'll be back my friend,

This time with guns and not (just) sticks

Did you honestly think that they'd give a blink

If your agenda was different than theirs?

When democracy's dead, were all put to bed

And so are our hopes and prayers

That's all she wrote

When you've lost your vote

On the day that democracy DIES

When you've lost your vote

On the day that democracy DIES

Oh say can you see our democracy

Has started to circle the drain

You won't have the right

To carry or fight or say what you want to be said

It all goes away on the very first day

That democracy's finally dead

Yes it all goes away on the very first day

That democracy's dead

Oh say can you see our democracy

Is starting to wear too thin

There's no truth in the news

Just a collection of views

To get you to listen to them

On the very first day your rights go away

And they jail you for what you said

Cause the constitution dies when

There are nothing but lies

It dies when democracy's dead

it dies when democracy's dead
