> > Chorus No kings, no kings.

> > Did you ever think you’d see the day,
> > Did you think there’d come a time,
> > When peaceful protest in the street
> > Would be treated as a crime;
> > When a nation claiming freedom
> > And the right to think and speak,
> > Would be brought down by a fascist coup
> > That attacks the poor and weak?
> > First they came for college students
> > And for labor unions, too;
> > Then they came for foreign immigrants
> > Workin’ hard to make it through.
> > And they’re coming for the journalists
> > And for all who dare speak out
> > Against the bigots and the billionaires,
> > And that’s why we rage and shout.
> > Now their emperor who has no clothes
> > Is parading in DC.
> > With his tanks and drones he thinks he’s tough
> > But it’s plain for all to see
> > That he’s a chicken in wolf’s clothing
> > And he’s a king just in his dreams
> > So we’ll sing and march as we demand
> > That you send home the Marines.
> > Yes, the people claim our power now
> > And we’ll stop your fascist schemes.
