Lyrics
Chancellor with a crown, but no soul to find.
Sitting in her brown castle, with a"G" on top.
An empire of whispers, a kingdom of fear,
where the truth gets buried, and dissent disappears.
Retaliation’s the business,and she's cashing in,
Millions on lawyers, but she’s flashing a grin.
Contracts for cronies, power for friends.
When the heat turns up, she won't take blame.
Board of Trustees, can you hear the sound,
of a district in flames, while you're bowing down?
How much did it cost her to buy your soul?
We can buy it back, if you disclose.
The gospel of "G" is obey and submit.
Speak out once, and you’ll regret.
A glance too long, a word too bold,
your freedom and future goes POOF!
One million here, two million there,
students drowning, gasping for air.
faculty crushed, staff on their knees,
while she’s signing herself another increase.
Board of Trustees, can you hear the sound
of the district in flames, while you're bowing down.
How much did it cost her to buy your soul?
We can buy it back, if you disclose.
We are the Insiders, we are loud,
We are standing, we are proud.
Digging deeper, breaking silence,
relentless fighters, for truth and justice.
The "G" clock is running out,
No more hiding in this town.
Faculty's rising, staff awake,
Empire of fear's starting to break.
Board of Trustees, time to choose,
Will you stand with the people, or act a fool?
The walls are closing, the truth won’t fade,
When history looks back—who gets betrayed?
