Emily Elbert - True Power (feat. Raquel Rodriguez & Jessica Childress)

Here's one for Mr. Trump - this time, with the powerful voices of Jessica Childress and Raquel Rodriguez joining in. The videos from "We Who Believe in Freedom" continue with an original, "True Power." We will not be silent. Lyrics:

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
Soak up the scandals, honey, drink up the diversion
Ignore the voices of the poor and sick and hurting
Here's to the one percent, we’re clearly more deserving

Almighty dollar is my lover and my savior
Transport my golden throne to 16 Pennsylvania
Do not believe a thing you’re reading in the papers
The only truth is what is written in my favor

True power can’t be bought or stolen
If you build a wall of hatred, prepare to watch it crumble
We will not be silent, no, can’t you hear the thunder
So listen fear monger, your days are numbered

My daddy told me if I want it I can get it
The world’s my oyster and your body is my business
I put my tiny hands wherever I can fit them
Do not dissent or you’ll be fired like The Apprentice

I’m nothing if I’m not a man of family values
But poor kids go get your education in the drive thru
Don’t drink the water, or see the doctor - you can’t afford to
If you’re not rich, white, cis, and straight, then I don’t serve you

True power can’t be bought or stolen
If you build a wall of hatred, prepare to watch it crumble
We will not be silent, hear our voices roar like thunder
So listen fear monger, your days are numbered

Silence the scientists; I’m sick of their sad opinions
Who needs clean air or soil when you’ve got bigly billions
That Mother Earth’s like all those other nasty women
I try to repress; nevertheless, they are persisting

True power can’t be bought or stolen
If you build a wall of hatred, prepare to watch it crumble
We will not be silent, hear our voices roar like thunder
So listen fear monger, your days are numbered

This song is epic in the tradition of For What its Worth, by Buffalo Springfield. Musically funky, fun and fantastic, lyrically profound, sassy and socially potent!
