It Doesn't Work

[Intro]

(Spoken over building guitar riff, low and gritty)

They know it... deep down, they know.

But power's the game, and the show's gotta go on.

[Verse 1]

Wreckage of socialism, history's pile of dust,

Statism starves the soul, erodes our trust.

Ten million crossed the line, borders erased in the night,

Prices sky-high, wars raging out of sight.

DEI divides us, fossil fuels in chains,

But polls are crashing, approval in flames.

They built the mess, now they're hiding the scar,

Draining the reserves, begging OPEC from afar.

[Chorus]

The left knows leftism doesn't work!

(It doesn't work, no, it doesn't work!)

Power for the few, virtue-signaling elite,

But the people's had enough, feel the heat!

The left knows leftism doesn't work!

(It doesn't work, yeah, it never works!)

Backtrack and pander, 'til November's done,

But human nature wins, the fight's just begun!

[Verse 2]

Lied about the border, called it secure and tight,

Now reinstating orders, flipping scripts overnight.

COVID lockdowns wrecked us, Fauci's gospel fell flat,

Hysterias unravel, from Steele to the laptop trap.

Lawfare's crumbling, campuses in revolt,

Woke agendas tanking, corporations bolt.

They know it failed, the people detest the scheme,

Quiet reversals, election-time dream.

[Chorus]

The left knows leftism doesn't work!

(It doesn't work, no, it doesn't work!)

Power for the few, virtue-signaling elite,

But the people's had enough, feel the heat!

The left knows leftism doesn't work!

(It doesn't work, yeah, it never works!)

Backtrack and pander, 'til November's done,

But human nature wins, the fight's just begun!

[Bridge]

(Slow build with heavy bass and drums, then explode into distortion)

Borders make nations, laws keep the wild at bay,

Tribal chaos rising, but we won't fade away.

Money ain't printed gold, wars need strength to deter,

Affluence breeds utopians, but reality's the cure.

This four-year experiment's gotta end right now,

Before it ends us all—hear the battle cry loud!

[Chorus - Outro]

The left knows leftism doesn't work!

(It doesn't work, no, it doesn't work!)

Power for the few, virtue-signaling elite,

But the people's had enough, feel the heat!

The left knows leftism doesn't work!

(It doesn't work, yeah, it never works!)

End the madness, turn the tide,

Human nature's on our side!

(Fade with repeating "It doesn't work!" over driving riff)
