Our Songs of Resistance
A protest without music is just a meeting. We sing to bridge the gaps between us and to stand our ground when things get tense. Our songs are more than just melodies—they are tools for de-escalation, anchors for unity, and a rhythmic pulse for our resistance.
When we chant together, we breathe together. When we sing together, we win together.

No hatred, no violence
No starvation and no greed
And no kings, no kings
No kingsNo lies, no bullets
No bombs and no need
But no kings, no kings
No kingsNo walls, no judgments
No oppression cowerin'
To kings, no kings
No kingsEvery color, every culture
Every language, every creed
And no kings, no kings
No kingsNo more dyin' in the clutches
No more dyin' underneath
No kings, no kings
No kingsNo more dyin' for the causes
No one asked for, no one needs
And no kings, no kings
No kingsTo all the dignity
The love that they deserve and need
No kings, no kings
No kingsThe pursuit of happiness
The right to life and liberty
And no kings, no kings
No kingsNo child going hungry
For there's plenty 'nough to eat
With no kings, no kings
No kingsMay I recognize your soul
That you may see the soul in me
No kings, no kings
No kingsClose your eyes and listen
So that you may truly see
No kings, no kings
No kingsThat the killing of my foe
Indeed, destroys a part of me
No kings, no kings
No kingsNo hatred, no violence
No starvation and no greed
And no kings, no kings
No kings -
[Verse 1]
This is the truth of who I am
And it’s taken me my whole life
To celebrate
I won’t go back
You can give me a number
Slap on a label
Tell me I won’t be welcome at your table
But I won’t bow down to a tyrant anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
I know what to do, I’ve been here before
[Chorus]
Tyrants always fall Always
Tyrants always fall Always
[Verse 2]
This is the truth of where we’ve been
And it’s taken the world till now
To take an honest look around
There are lies on the TV, lies in the paper
Lies on your phonе just grown from the vapor
And I won’t be fooled by thе liars anymore[Pre-Chorus]
This is the truth that we can’t ignore:
[Bridge]
There are more of us than there are of them
There are more of us than there are of them
There are more of us than there are of them
There are more of us than there are of them
[Chorus]
And Tyrants always fall Always
[Verse 3]
We are scattered and scared
In the ship’s dark hold
But we have a common peril
And we have a common goal
The parents are dead
The leering uncle’s at the prow
There is no one left
We are the grownups now
Think of all those times[Verse 4]
This is the truth we’ve always known
There isn’t a lightening bolt
To set things right, to bring us home
It’s gonna take all our courage
Take all our action
Take every heart
In every single faction
And it’s gonna take time
Some of us won’t live that long
[Bridge]
When one gets weak it means it’s your turn to be strong
[Outro]
There are more of us than there are of them
There are more of us than there are of them
There are more of us than there are of them
There are more of us than there are of them
There are more of us than there are of them
There are more of us than there are of them
There are more of us than there are of them
There are more of us than there are of them
Tyrants always fall Always
Tyrants always fall Always
