Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They claim crime is rising, though numbers don’t show,
It’s fear they are selling, and fear they still sow.
The agents stand guard where no danger is near,
Just a show of control meant to govern by fear.

[Chorus]
Strongman blues, do you feel the weight?
Strongman blues, as they seal our fate,
Gotta push back, while we still can,
Standin’ together, all hand in hand.
Against the strongman blues…that's right
Against the strongman blues…

[Verse 2]
The press takes the blows while the strongmen cheer,
Truth becomes treason in the age of fear.
They freeze out the students, cut research away,
But claim they’re defending the flag every day.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
The watchdogs are starved, the agencies bled,
Truth buried quietly while lies are fed.
A Capitol echo, a gavel gone wrong,
We hum the corruption in a protest song.

[Final Chorus]
Strongman blues, do you feel the weight?
Strongman blues, as they seal our fate,
Gotta push back, while we still can,
Standin’ together, all hand in hand.
Against the strongman blues…that's right
Against the strongman blues…

[Outro]
Gotta push back...against the strongman blues...gotta push back...
