Lyrics

***Song Title: “D.C. Emergency Blues”

[Verse 1]
August heat in the capital streets,
Sirens wail to a federal beat.
Signed one paper, called it a crime,
And the city’s Trump's playground, one more time.

[Chorus]
Emergency blues, written in ink,
Take the wheel, don’t ask what we think.
Emergency blues, power on loan,
Dressed up in law, but it cuts to the bone.

[Verse 2]
Local hands pushed out of the game,
Every badge wears another man’s name.
He calls it safety, but the law’s been bent,
Turning justice into government rent.

[Chorus]
Emergency blues, written in ink,
Take the wheel, don’t ask what we think.
Emergency blues, power on loan,
Call it protection, but it feels like control.

[Bridge]
Heard the gavel crack, saw the curtain fall,
One man’s word overrides us all.
No trial, no jury, just a midnight pen,
And the people left asking — where’s the end?

[Verse 3]
Now the streets still hum with the voices low,
Freedom’s a song that the feds don’t know.
Write it down, sing it twice,
Democracy’s a pawn , they've loaded the dice.

[Final Chorus]
Emergency blues, sung in the rain,
Liberty lost is the tyrant’s gain.
Emergency blues, power untamed,
Signed in the night, now the people are chained.

[Outro]
Yeah… the blues… the emergency kind…
