What is Happening Lyrics

I woke up to a storm, thunder in my head

Rights all vanished like ghosts, democracy's dead

Outlawed are our choices, what's coming next

History looping, no one looks vexed

Next they'll bring back chains, erase all votes

Strip our thoughts, put fear in our throats

I thought this land was free, dreams a lie

Building walls so high, blocking out the sky

What is happening? Can't believe my eyes

Lies they tell us, just in disguise

We'll be foreign in our own hometown

What's next? Are they gonna shut us down

Spinning tales of fear, pushing on the old

Hopes like shadows, hard to hold

Taking steps back like it's just a game

But hearts are burning, fanning the flame

What is happening? Can't believe my eyes

Lies they tell us, just in disguise

We'll be foreign in our own hometown

What's next? Are they gonna shut us down

The whispers turn to shouts, the outrage grows

In streets we march, the anger shows

We won't be silenced, won't sit down

In every city, every town

What is happening? Can't believe my eyes

Lies they tell us, just in disguise

Lies they tell us, just in disguise

We'll be foreign in our own hometown

What's next? Are they gonna shut us down

What is happening? Can't believe my eyes

Lies they tell us, just in disguise

We'll be foreign in our own hometown

What's next? Are they gonna shut us down

The whispers turn to shouts, the outrage grows

In streets we march, the anger shows

We won't be silenced, won't sit down

In every city, every town

Thanks for watching
