Bully

Why do we choose the broken men?... Asking for a friend.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why does this land of liberty
Bow down to arrogant tyranny?
We cheer for the brash, the cruel, the loud,
A bully’s roar draws in the crowd.
But strength ain’t loud, it don’t demean,
True leaders build, they don’t tear clean.
Instead, we crown the broken kings,
Their hollow hearts, their fragile strings.

[Pre-Chorus]
Insecure minds, selfish hearts,
Built their towers to hide their scars.
Their dominance? A shallow ploy,
A feeble act to destroy joy.

[Chorus]
America, why love a bully’s game?
Liberty’s turned to a hollow name.
No empathy, no morality,
A winner with no integrity.

[Verse 2]
Low self-esteem breeds the cruelest thirst,
Bullies rise, but they’re dying first.
Their conquests? Just a house of sand,
Built by the weakest of trembling hands.
Yet we adore the bravado, the sneer,
As if strength’s found in another’s fear.
Why do we choose the broken men?
Elected lies, again, again.

[Pre-Chorus]
Projecting pain, they claim control,
But the bully’s mask can’t hide the hole.
Behind the roar, there’s nothing to see,
A coward’s soul, a travesty.

[Chorus]
America, why love a bully’s game?
Liberty’s turned to a hollow name.
No empathy, no morality,
A winner with no integrity.

[Bridge]
The myth of merit dies tonight,
Success through pain ain’t earned by right.
No strength in fear, no pride in lies,
Just feeble hearts in oversized ties.
Do we call this our destiny?
A nation led by tyranny?
Convicted yet elected still,
Is justice just a bitter pill?

[Chorus]
America, why love a bully’s game?
Liberty’s turned to a hollow name.
No empathy, no morality,
A winner with no integrity.

[Outro]
A true victory needs empathy,
A moral path, accountability.
But here we are, the bully crowned,
A hollow king on shaky ground.
America, when will you see?
The bully’s roar is a fallacy.
