Sterling Cade | "Smoke and Mirrors" [Hi-Tech AOR]

Описание: LYRICS:

[Verse]
Spotlight vows on a marble stair
Red tie, blue tie, same vendor’s chair
Photo-op charity, speechwriter grace
Backroom calendars set the pace
Talking heads grade the daily spin
Donor lists choose who gets in
Flag-draped podium, promise parade
While wage and rent don’t get paid

[Pre-Chorus]
We see the hand behind the trick
Your party lines are paper-thin

[Chorus]
Smoke and mirrors, same old stage
Smoke and mirrors, hide the wage
Link our arms from dock to line
Nothing moves without our hands this time

[Verse]
War-room budgets in polished gloss
Revolving doors tally wins and loss
Ballots tallied, then suits decide
Boards get richer while towns get dried
Texts from shift breaks, rent past due
Nurses on double, teachers too
Share-price gospel, profits first
We bring water to the thirst

[Pre-Chorus]
You sell a feud to keep us split
We break the script, you don’t admit

[Chorus]
Smoke and mirrors, same old stage
Smoke and mirrors, hide the wage
Link our arms from dock to line
Nothing moves without our hands this time

[Bridge]
Fascists thrive on fracture and fear
Greed writes a chorus you cheer
We choose each other, raise the sign
Shop floor, classroom, picket line
Tenants meet, the warehouse sings
Union halls grow iron wings
From code to cargo, farm to steel
We make the country, that’s the deal

[Break/Solo]

[Chorus]
Smoke and mirrors, lose their hold
We stand together, bright and bold
All of us or none, one spine
Nothing moves without our hands this time
