Nobody Showed Up (No Kings Protest song)

[Intro]
(Verse 1)
The town square was empty, or so they'd say
No banners were counted at the break of day
Nobody stood six feet apart in a line
Nobody covered up a human design
Nobody took the shot to "do their part"
Nobody clutched a pain inside their heart
Nobody felt the sudden, creeping dread
Nobody listened to what the talking head said.
(Chorus)
And nobody showed up to the No Kings Protest
Nobody put their spirit to the test
'Cause the ones they count are the ones in chains
And nobody's left here to play their games
Nobody showed up to the No Kings Protest
Just a silent crowd putting truth to the test.
(Verse 2)
The "tell-a-vision" flickered with a brand new war
A cause to fight for, just like before
They drew the lines and they beat the drum
For Israel or Ukraine, said we had to become
The sword and the shield for a distant land
But nobody answered the elites' command
Nobody put on a uniform for ICE
Nobody wanted to pay their price.
(Chorus)
And nobody showed up to the No Kings Protest
Nobody put their spirit to the test
'Cause the ones they count are the ones in chains
And nobody's left here to play their games
Nobody showed up to the No Kings Protest
Just a silent crowd putting truth to the test.
(Bridge)
They're shouting louder into the void
With every desperate, tired ploy
But our vibration is rising high
A quiet hum beneath the sky
You have less supporters than you know
Your poisoned seeds just refuse to grow
We don't want the vision from your screen
We'd rather live it, pure and clean.
(Chorus)
So nobody showed up to the No Kings Protest
Nobody put their spirit to the test
'Cause the ones they count are the ones in chains
And nobody's left here to play their games
Nobody showed up to the No Kings Protest
Just a silent crowd putting truth to the test.
