Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He said, “Hang those six lawmakers — they’re a danger to the nation!”
All they did was reed the oath from basic training orientation.
You’d think reminding soldiers of the Constitution’s laws
Was the same as stormin’ Congress with a flag and zip-tie claws.
[Chorus]
Ain’t sedition — it’s the mission
To defend this old republic from a would-be king’s ambition.
He calls truth opposition, and freedom a crime,
But what he calls sedition’s been American the whole dang time.
[Verse 2]
He says loyalty means follow him, no matter what he’s doin’,
But that ain’t how it works here, pal — we’ve read our constitution.
Our founders left a handbook with a simple precondition:
You swear to guard the Constitution, not a politician.
[Chorus]
Ain’t sedition — it’s tradition
From the Minutemen to citizens who won't bow to raw ambition.
We stand up when things get crooked, call out grifters in their prime,
‘Cause what he calls sedition’s been American the whole dang time.
[Verse 3]
Now he hollers treason anytime the truth sneaks through,
Like a bully kickin’ dust up when the facts slip into view.
But shouting down your critics doesn’t make the facts behave —
It just proves he wants a country where he’s king and we’re the knaves.
[Verse 4]
He wants generals who follow him wherever he might drift,
Like a boat without an anchor or a huckster sellin’ grift.
But soldiers swear an oath, my friend — and here’s the real condition:
It’s the law, not some blowhard, that they follow on that mission.
[Chorus]
Ain’t sedition — it’s conviction
To stand up for the truth when lies are gaining jurisdiction.
He calls patriotism treason while he’s busy hidin’ crimes,
But what he calls sedition’s been American the whole dang time.
[Tag]
Yeah, what he calls sedition’s been American the whole dang time.
