Broad Daylight | An American Protest Song

Описание: If you like the down to earth realism of folk songs, presented as a heartland rock / pop rock song, this one's for you. 'Broad Daylight' calls out the complicity we all saw coming."

Lyrics

"Broad Daylight (An American Protest Song)"
For the Record Folks

[Verse 1]
You wrapped yourself in liberty
Like it was yours to sell
Quoted founders out of context
While the guardrails fell
You said you loved the rule of law
Said justice had no side
Then you bent it for a strongman
And you called it pride

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t get to plead surprise
You heard it from his mouth

[Chorus]
He did it in broad daylight
Right there on your screen
He told you who he was from day one
He said what he would be
You swore you’d never stand for this
You swore you’d draw the line
But you didn’t.
You clapped.
You called it strength.
You called it fine.
Trump did that.

[Verse 2]
He called the press “the enemy”
You said it was a joke
He tested every boundary
Just to see what broke
He said the vote was rigged against him
Long before it ran
He told you he’d reject the count
If it didn’t fit his hand

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t get to act betrayed
You chose the easy lie

[Chorus]
He did it in broad daylight
Right there on your screen
He told you what he’d do to us
And what this place would be
You swore you loved the Constitution
Said no one wears a crown
But when he reached for one
You didn’t knock it down.
Trump did that.

[Bridge]
This isn’t about a party
This isn’t left or right
It’s about the things you tolerate
When they benefit your side
It’s about the lines you swore you had
That vanished overnight
It’s about the cost we’re paying now
For what you let him write

[Final Chorus]
He did it in broad daylight
We all saw the display
He told you who he was
And you chose him anyway
You don’t get to say you didn’t know
You don’t get to look away
History won’t say “He fooled them”
It’ll say —
They let him stay.
Trump did that.
And so did you.
