Mine eyes have seen the coming of American royalty 

Anointed by the Court Supreme with all immunity

To prevent a presidential king, it’s up to you and me 

If Democracy goes marching on

CHORUS:

Power lust is never satisfied 

Billionaires, they want to rule our lives

Pay low wages and jack up our living costs 

Enough! Demand your rights!

I’ve seen warnings written in a hundred news reports

Project twenty twenty five our freedoms will abort 

With a tyrant on Day One our rights will be under assault

Will a king be president? 

I’ve read a fiery manual, writ in angry tones of zeal

By those who want the freedom to make their shady deals

Their endless itch for power will force us all to kneel

At the altar of gold and greed 

CHORUS:

Power lust is never satisfied 

Billionaires, they want to rule our lives

Pay low wages and jack up our living costs 

Enough! Demand your rights!

Destroy a hundred years of protective regulation

It’ll only take a day or so of signing proclamations

Clean air and water, living wages, public education 

Gone by the stroke of a pen

The king fires civil servants, fifty thousand or more 

Hires his politicos, who loyalty have sworn 

Obey the king, right or wrong, legalities ignored 

They serve in submission 

CHORUS:

Power lust is never satisfied

Billionaires, they want to rule our lives

Pay low wages and jack up our living costs

Enough! Demand your rights

Abortion, contraception, in vitro fertilization

The right to choose belongs to us, so please pay close attention

No woman’s life should be at risk from faulty legislation

We won’t breed like rabbits!

Project twenty twenty five fills nine hundred pages

Hurts the young, the old, the disabled, and people of all ages

We must rise up and take a stand, and verbalize our rages!

Our freedom depends on us

CHORUS:

Power lust is never satisfied 

Billionaires, they want to rule our lives

Pay low wages and jack up our living costs 

Enough! Demand your rights!

(slow): Enough! Demand your rights!
