From the recording Songs For A Shaken Nation II

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say we’re traitors with picket signs,
Plotting coups in the checkout lines.
But we’re welders, nurses, vets, and clerks—
Just tired of kings who don’t do the work.

[Chorus / Chant]
No kings! No crowns!
Just people standin’ their ground!
We kneel for justice, not for kings—
‘Cause freedom’s the song we sing!

[Verse 2]
He’s got a robe, a sword on loan,
A golden chair and a cardboard throne.
Posts a meme sayin’ “We’re built different”—
Yeah, built on lies and poor equipment.

[Chorus / Chant ]
No kings! No crowns!
Just people standin’ their ground!
We kneel for justice, not for kings—
‘Cause freedom’s the song we sing!

[Bridge]
You call us mobs, but we’re your kin,
The ones who pay the taxes in.
You crown yourself—well, bless your heart—
But kings don’t last when people are smart.

[Chorus Final]
No kings! No crowns!
Just people standin’ their ground!
The robe don’t rule, the ring don’t shine—
The power’s ours, by grand design.

[Outro – Spoken/Chanted]
“Built different? You bet—built free.”
(crowd repeats) “Built free!”
