This Vulgar Noise

As my throat chokes in this toxic noise
Incivility is a drink served today
Prepare for probes and searches
Dare not ever use your voice
Vile politics rule this day
Dreams made worthless

This vulgar misbegotten empire is shame
Calls you a number, forgets your name
Raise your fist child, raise your voice
Choose your path and unleash wrath
This is the time, this is the place

Your silence will leave you emptied
No country, No hope, no home
Just a puppet master pulling strings
Telling you the protest song lyrics
That you're allowed to sing
