Hold Their Feet to The Fire

Liner Notes

There are large chunks of society who've chosen subservience to their leaders over their own freedom. Most notably in the American right, but not exclusively. So I picked up my new #bass and wrote a vaguely #political song about it.

Lyrics

Tell me Mr President who would you like me to be
Is it this subservience on which your land is founded
Didn't you hope for better? Didn't you used to dream?
Oh please Mr President, whom you live to serve

Are you going to let them push you 'round
Are you going to let them grind you down
Are you going to let them push you 'round
Are you going to let them grind you down
Grind you down

Hold their feet to the fire
We don't kneel for any body
Hold their feet to the fire
We are the many
Hold their feet to the fire
We don't kneel for any body
Hold their feet to the fire
We are the many

Tell your Mr President where you want him to go
Give him his marching orders, he is there to serve
Rediscover your spirit, rebuild your tomorrow
Make your country great again, once more for the free

Are you going to let them grind you down
Are you going to let them push you 'round
Are you going to let them grind you down
Grind you down

Hold their feet to the fire
We don't kneel for any body
Hold their feet to the fire
We are the many
Hold their feet to the fire
We don't kneel for any body
Hold their feet to the fire
We are the many

Hold their feet to the fire
We don't kneel for any body
Hold their feet to the fire
We are the many
Hold their feet to the fire
We don't kneel for any body
Hold their feet to the fire
We are the many
