¶ Lyrics
(Verse 1)
We lit the sky with freedom’s fire,
A brand-new world, we take it higher,
But shadows laugh behind the grin,
The battle’s loud, the rot within.
A million eyes on every screen,
A fragile hope, let freedom ring,
One choice to make, one voice to trust,
But power turns it all to dust.
(Pre-Chorus 1)
The cameras roll, the liars smile,
Democracy lasts just a while,
A shaky hand, a poisoned pen,
And history breaks again.
(Chorus)
And there goes the vote tonight,
Burning down in neon light,
Truth got lost, the numbers lie,
Hear the people start to cry.
And what a crooked show,
Plant the seed and watch it grow,
Freedom’s dream is told in smoke,
And every ballot’s just a joke.
(Verse 2)
She wore her crown of MEGA rage,
A cartoon queen upon the stage,
She whispered, “Kid, go find a hack,”
He grinned and said, “I got your back.”
He filled the ballot, dark as sin,
Thought he’d lock her future in,
But every mark became the key,
To hand Kaiden victory.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
He didn’t mean to twist the knife,
But accidents can ruin life,
A stupid spark, a live confession,
A galaxy on brink of oppression.
(Chorus)
And there goes the vote tonight,
Burning down in neon light,
Truth got lost, the numbers lie,
Hear the people start to cry.
And what a crooked show,
Plant the seed and watch it grow,
Freedom’s dream is told in smoke,
And every ballot’s just a joke.
(Bridge)
Jack’s in the wings, the past won’t die,
John wears the mask, but feels the lie,
Kjersten screams, the walls collapse,
Cody sobs in moral traps.
A system born in blood and pain,
Now choking on disgrace again,
The flame is small, the night is long,
So tell me… where do we belong?
(Final Chorus)
And there goes the vote tonight,
Shattered in the spotlight,
Hope’s still bleeding through the shame,
But freedom’s never just a game.
And yeah we fell so hard,
Dealt ourselves a crooked card,
But we rise again, we don’t stay broke,
Even if the world’s a joke.
(Outro)
(Vote! Vote!) Hear the people sing,
(Vote! Vote!) Long live democracy,
(Vote! Vote!) Before we crawl,
(Vote! Vote!) Back from the fall.
