[Intro]
Minions (turn to millions) Millions
(turn to billions)
[Verse 1]
Count the coins, count the crowns
Gold goes up as hope goes down
Hands in pockets, hands in chains
Private profits, public pains
Screens glow bright with numbers tall
From the tower they watch it fall
Markets cheer the rising tide
But the streets know what’s inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Stacks grow higher, hearts grow cold
Every story already sold
[Chorus]
Minions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to billions)
Minions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to billions)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
As they reign rain
(Pour on the poor)
[Verse 2]
Build the towers, scrape the sky
Sell tomorrow, buy the lie
Every empire loves the game
Different faces, same old name
Credit rivers flood the land
Paper power, sleight of hand
Balance sheets and broken towns
Golden thrones on borrowed crowns
[Pre-Chorus]
Count it once, count it twice
Someone always pays the price
[Chorus]
Minions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to billions)
Minions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to billions)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
As they reign rain
(Pour on the poor)
[Bridge – Collapse Pulse]
Billions building brittle walls
Every tower someday falls
Billions betting on the throne
But gravity collects its own
[Final Chorus – Full Band Explosion]
Minions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to billions)
Minions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to billions)
Billions…
(Turn to dust)
[Outro]
Billions…
Billions…
Billions…
[Intro]
Millions?
Billions…
(turn to millions)
Millions…
(turn to minions)
[Verse 1]
Down below the marble halls
Under shadows of the walls
People counting what remains
Dust of promises and chains
Neon signs and empty streets
Paper dreams and unpaid sheets
Every tower casting shade
Over every deal they made
[Pre-Chorus]
Numbers climbing in the sky
While the ground runs dry
[Chorus]
Billions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to minions)
Billions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to minions)
[Verse 2]
Ledger lines and silent towns
Empty shelves and falling crowns
Every empire sells the same
Different script, familiar game
Watch the towers flashing gold
While the winters grow more cold
Every number on the screen
Hides the cost of what has been
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the losses, count the lies
Truth beneath the rise
[Chorus]
Billions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to minions)
Billions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to minions)
[Bridge – Fracture]
When the walls begin to crack
All the numbers spiral back
When the towers start to lean
Every ledger turns unseen
[Spoken Vocal — echoing]
The higher the wealth…
The deeper the debt.
[Final Chorus – Full Band]
Billions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to minions)
Billions
(Turn to millions)
Millions
(Turn to minions)
Millions…
(turn to voices)
[Outro]
Millions…
Millions…
[Soft Vocal]
Not forever minions.
[Intro]
Minions…
(they said)
Minions…
(they called us)
[Verse 1]
Morning bells and factory light
Paper shifts and endless night
Names erased on numbered lines
Lives reduced to bottom lines
Hands that build the shining towers
Trade their days for borrowed hours
Every promise carved in stone
Every worker stands alone
[Pre-Chorus]
They count the gold
They write the rules
They crown the kings
They forge the tools
[Chorus]
Minions
(so they say)
Minions
(in their way)
Minions
(in their eyes)
Minions
(in disguise)
[Verse 2]
[Beat heavier — driving snare]
Cities humming, engines loud
Numbers floating in a cloud
Every tower made of hands
Every throne on shifting sands
Screens declare the rising gain
But the streets remember pain
Every ledger hides the cost
Every victory someone lost
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the wealth
Count the lies
Count the silence
In their eyes
[Chorus]
Minions
(so they say)
Minions
(in their way)
Minions
(in their eyes)
Minions
(in disguise)
[Bridge – Awakening]
But minions learn
And minions see
And minions speak
Eventually
Every whisper grows a sound
Every step shakes the ground
[Bridge – Turning]
[Full band drops to half tempo]
Minions build the roads and rails
Minions write forgotten tales
Minions hold the hidden keys
Minions move the histories
[Spoken Vocal — rising]
Without the minions…
there are no millions.
Without the millions…
there are no billions.
[Final Chorus – Full Band Explosion]
Minions
(so they say)
Minions
(not today)
Minions
(standing tall)
Minions
(after all)
[Outro]
Minions…
turn to millions.
Millions…
turn to billions.
Billions…
fall to dust.
[Intro]
Has the ending just begun…
(Whatever happened to freedom?)
[Verse 1]
Did you hear him say
(“We’re bombing babies today”)
Better get out of the way
(The Reaper’s here to stay)
[Chorus]
Billions of dollars a day
(Blowing babies away)
Billions in debt to pay
(Blowing babies away)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
When all’s said and done
(Whatever happened to freedom?)
[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]
[Organ Stabs, Driving Bass, Snare March]
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 1]
Did you hear him say
(“We’re bombing babies today”)
Better get out of the way
(The Reaper’s here to stay)
[Chorus]
Billions of dollars a day
(Blowing babies away)
Billions in debt to pay
(Blowing babies away)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
When all’s said and done
(Whatever happened to freedom?)
[Verse 2]
Did you hear him say
(“We’re bombing babies today”)
No, that ain’t O.K.
(The Reaper’s here to stay)
[Chorus]
Billions of dollars a day
(Blowing babies away)
Billions in debt to pay
(Blowing babies away)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
When all’s said and done
(Whatever happened to freedom?)
[Outro]
So…
Do you know
(Whatever happened to freedom?)
Is that the show
(Oh, no, no)
Whatever happened to freedom?
(Blown to kingdom come)
ABOUT THE SONG: “More Winning?” Trump’s Record Baby Bombing
The US has been spending a billion dollars a day bombing babies for days and days.
The 2026 escalation of hostilities in the Middle East has produced an unprecedented spike in civilian casualties, particularly among children. Modern conflicts involving the United States have not seen child casualty figures of this magnitude in such a short timeframe.
Child Casualties in the Middle East
According to recent UNICEF reports, over 1,100 children have been killed or injured in the Middle East since the start of the Iran conflict on February 28, 2026.
This figure represents a concentrated 10-day spike, which is unprecedented in modern U.S. military engagements. While U.S. forces have historically been involved in conflicts with high cumulative child casualties, the speed and intensity of this recent spike are unmatched.
[Intro]
Did you hear that cry…
(From the other side of the sky)
Smoke in the sun
(What have we done)
[Verse 1]
Sirens in the morning light
(Broken classroom floor)
Little shoes in scattered lines
(They won’t run no more)
Paper dreams and chalkboard dust
(Falling with the roof)
Someone said it must be war
(But where is the proof)
[Chorus]
Hear the collateral cry
(Rising to the sky)
No reason why
(No alibi)
Hear the collateral cry
(Another lullaby)
History sighs
(While innocence dies)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Who gave the command
(To bury the sand)
Hide the shame
(And change the name)
Collateral damage
(That’s what they say)
[Verse 2]
Newsprint stains the evening air
(Statistics on a page)
But numbers never show the face
(Or measure up the rage)
Someone’s daughter
(Someone’s friend)
Someone’s story
(At the end)
[Chorus]
Hear the collateral cry
(Rising to the sky)
No reason why
(No alibi)
Hear the collateral cry
(Another lullaby)
History sighs
(While innocence dies)
[Bridge – Spoken Breakdown]
Tell me now
(What was won)
When the smoke
(Hides the sun)
Freedom falling
(From the sky)
[Final Chorus]
Hear the collateral cry
(Rising to the sky)
No reason why
(No alibi)
Hear the collateral cry
(Another lullaby)
History sighs
(While innocence dies)
[Outro]
Did you hear that cry…
(From the other side of the sky)
Whatever happened to freedom?
(We still ask why)
[Intro]
Geee!
Is it a “Double Lifetime Guarantee”?
[Verse 1]
You sold it shiny new
(Factory sealed)
Promises wrapped in blue
(A crooked deal)
Said it would last forever
(No need to fear)
But forever keeps getting shorter
(Year by year)
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t got that many lifetimes
(To count your mistakes)
Corruption, vice, and crimes
(Until man’s will awakes)
[Bridge]
Or everything breaks
[Chorus]
A billion seconds
(Work twice my life)
For your record reckons
(The fate of hate and strife)
A billion seconds gone
(Just like that)
Your crooked ledger drawn
(In the aftermath)
[Breakdown]
Now we know…
(This sh, sh, sha… it) show
(Has ga, gotta…) Go!
Truth leaks out slow
(Through every crack)
The longer you run it
(The harder the smack)
[Verse 2]
You stamped it “guaranteed”
(For life and more)
But whose life you mean
(Is the hidden score)
Double the promise
(Double the lie)
Stacked to the heavens
(High in the sky)
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t got that many lifetimes
(To watch the decay)
Counting your headlines
(Day after day)
[Chorus]
A billion seconds
(Work twice my life)
For your record reckons
(The fate of hate and strife)
A billion seconds burn
(Into the night)
Every page we turn
(Reveals the fight)
[Final Breakdown]
Lifetime promise
(Printed in gold)
But the truth behind it
(Is already sold)
Double lifetime guarantee?
(We’ll see…)
[Outro]
Tick… tick… tick…
(Time keeps score)
You can promise forever
(But never more)
End of the endeavor
ABOUT THE SONG
If you spent 40 hours a week counting at an average rate of one number per second, it would take approximately 133.5 years to reach one billion.
Realistic speech rates: Some estimates suggest that because large numbers take several seconds to pronounce, the actual time spent counting (even non-stop) could exceed 100 to 200 years.
The Million vs. Billion difference: At one number per second, you can count to a million in just 11.5 days.
[Intro – Spoken / Chant]
Hear the billions!
(Counting our lives!)
Stacked in towers!
(Where power thrives!)
[Verse 1]
They sit on golden thrones
(High in the sky)
We sweat and we toil
(While they decide)
Every second measured
(Each breath we give)
Every fortune built
(On the life we live)
[Pre-Chorus 1 – Chantable]
A billion seconds sold!
(Billion, billion, billion!)
Corruption in plain sight!
(We see it all!)

Crowd: For what is right!
[Verse 2 – Spoken / Chant]
Every ledger open!

Every rule they bend!
(To crush our need!)
Money talks louder!
(But we’ve got fire!)
Billions of hearts!
(Burning with desire!)
[Breakdown – Mass Chant]
Now we rise!
(Now we rise!)
This sh… it dies!
(Sh… it dies!)
From the street!
(To the crowd!)
Hear the people shout it loud!
(Shout it loud!)
[Pre-Chorus 2 – Chant]
A billion seconds spent…
(Under their rule!)
We won’t be silenced!
(By their tool!)
[Chorus – Reprise / Mass]
Leader: Against the crown!
Crowd: We will stand tall!
Leader: Against the lies!
Crowd: That bind us all!
Leader: A billion hearts!
Crowd: Joining in the fight!
Leader: Against the crown!
Crowd: For what is right!
All Together:
Rise! Rise! Rise!
(Against the crown!)
Fight! Fight! Fight!
(We take it down!)
[Final Breakdown – Spoken / Chant]
Every promise printed in gold…
(Can’t hide the truth!)
Time is ours now…
(Count every breath!)
We won’t bow down…
(We choose life over death!)
[Outro – Extended Instrumental / Chant Fade]
Tick… tick… tick…
(We take the score!)
Billions counted!
(And still we rise!)
Against the crown!
(We claim the skies!)
The crown…
(… is going down!)
[Intro – Extended Cosmic Jam]
Moving at the speed of light…
(Everything stands still)
Billions of photons passing by…

Every glimmer
(From afar)
Every photon
(From a star)

Across the cosmos

Ancient fire
(Still alive)

Stars beyond measure…
(Standing still)
Speed of light…
(Through endless night)
[Chorus – Reprise]
Billions of photons
(Flash by my eyes)
Billions of questions
(Under the skies)
Billions of lifetimes
(Too short to know)
Where all that starlight
(Wants to go)
[Breakdown – Quiet Reflection]
[Percussion fades]
[Organ Pad]
Did you see it?
(The light of the past)
Did you feel it?
(How long it can last)
[Final Chorus – Expansive]
Billions of photons
(Filling the night)
Billions of journeys
(Riding on light)
Billions of answers
(Hidden in flame)
Every bright star
(Calling your name)
[Outro – Long Instrumental Fade]
A billion seconds…
(A billion lights)
Still just a moment…
(In cosmic nights)
[Intro]
Well… can you tell
(How many cells?)

Every heartbeat counts
(Every breath)
Every thought amounts
(From birth to death)
Trillions in motion
(See the flow)
Building devotion
(To what we know)
[Bridge]
Well… can you tell
(How many cells?)
[Chorus]
Thirty-seven billion
(Cells)
Per civilian
(Time tells)
Living, breathing,
(Fire of life)
Every tiny division
(Sharp as a knife)

Every tissue,
(Moving like a flood)
Microscopic armies
(Marching on)
Holding memories,
(Each one strong)

All in rhythm,
(Alive, alive)
Count the cells

Per civilian
(Time tells)
Living, breathing,
(Fire of life)
Every tiny division
(Sharp as a knife)
[Outro – Instrumental Jam]
Whispers of life
(Cells, cells…)
Echo in the body
(37 billion…)
ABOUT THE SONG
The average adult human body contains approximately 30,000 to 37,200 billion cells. Recent comprehensive studies have refined these numbers based on gender and age:
* Adult Males: Roughly 36 trillion cells (based on a reference 70 kg male).
* Adult Females: Roughly 28 trillion cells (based on a reference 60 kg female).
* Children: Roughly 17 trillion cells (for an average 10-year-old).

Echoing through the sound,
(A living symphony…)
Life in harmony

Ching, ching
(Ding. Ding.)
Still…

One billion dollars…
(And that’s just the start)
How high will it go…
(Before it falls apart?)
[Instrumental Fade]
ABOUT THE SONG
A stack of one billion $1 bills would reach 67.9 miles high, extending well into the Earth’s atmosphere and technically reaching space.
[Intro]
Ching, ching
(Ding. Ding.)
Billions paid…
(Every year)
But when it comes back…
(What appears?)
Nothing… just lack.
[Verse 1]
April comes calling
(Time to pay)
Working all year
(Just to send it away)
Promises printed
(Shiny and new)
But the change that returns
(Is a nickel or two)
[Chorus]
Short changed
(Every time)
Billions taken
(Not a dime)
Short changed
(Year by year)
Billions vanish
(Disappear)
[Verse 2]
Schools need fixing

Hospitals waiting
(Day after day)
Money goes flying
(Out of the gate)
But the bill comes back
(To the working state)
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the billions
(Stacked so tall)
But when they spend it
(We get small)
[Chorus]
Short changed
(That’s the deal)
Paper fortunes
(Never real)
Short changed
(Stack the pay)
Billions gone
(Every day)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Check the ledger…
(Check it twice)
We pay the price…
(We pay the price)
Still short changed…

Billions paid!
(Not a dime!)
Short changed!
(Every year!)
Where’d it go?
(Disappeared!)

Billions of dollars…
(Stacked to the sky)
But the change we get back…
(Is barely a dime)
Still short changed…
(Every time)
Feeling robbed…
(Here I sob)

A billion is silence
(Erase the people)
Stack it again
(Until it breaks)
Numbers ascend
(That’s what it takes)
[Outro – Dissolution]
There’s one for you
(And two for me)
… let’s see…
(Where we’re we?)
… oh yeah…
There’s one for you
(And two for me)
Ten to the ninth…
(Still counting…)
[Intro]
Would ya look at what we’ve got
(That’s a lot)
[Verse 1]
Counting every zero
(From one to a hero)
Numbers rise and swell
(Stories they tell)
From grains to billions
(Endless trillions)
Stack it all high
(Looking at the sky)
[Verse 2]
Paper and digits
(Mountains of it)
Lives in the balance
(Split and transmit)
From hands to machines
(Calculating means)
Everything’s measured
(But what really counts?)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
[Percussion, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
Could be much, much worse
(… in the back of a hearse)
Watch it multiply
(While we sigh)
Count it all again
(Where does it end?)
[Chorus]
I mean…
(Have you seen the scene)
Just look at what we’ve got
(That sure is a lot)
Stack it high
(Reaching the sky)
Can’t believe all we’ve got
(That’s a lot, a lot…)
[Verse 3]
Every extra billion
(Changes the feeling)
From homes to oceans
(Can’t see the ceiling)
Numbers in motion
(Pulling devotion)
It’s overwhelming
(Lost in the notion)
[Final Chorus – Extended]
I mean…
(Have you seen the scene)
Just look at what we’ve got
(That sure is a lot)
Bigger than we dreamed
(Or even thought)
Everything together
(That’s a lot, a lot, a lot…)
[Outro – Instrumental Fade]
That’s a lot…
(Yeah… that’s a lot…)
[Intro]
Choo… choo….
(There goes the gravy train)
Would ya look at what remains…
(Leftovers…)
After everything’s claimed…
(Leftovers…)
Discover
(The gravy stains)
[Verse 1]
Scraps on the table
(After the feast)
Numbers unstable
(At least… at least…)
Plenty above
(Nothing below)
Where does it go?
(We already know)
[Verse 2]
Overflow towers
(Empty hands)
Counted in powers
(Shifted demands)
Digits keep climbing
(Lives stay the same)
Winners keep winning
(That’s the game)
[Pre-Chorus]
You can’t divide it
(Without the loss)
What’s left behind
(Pays the cost)
[Chorus]
Leftovers…
(That’s what we got)
After the counting
(That’s a lot?)
Scrape the remains
(From the pot)
After the billions
(Leftovers… that’s a lot…)
[Bridge – Breakdown]
Could be much, much worse…
(Still getting worse…)
Count what is left…
(After the first…)
[Chorus – Expanded]
Leftovers…
(That’s what we got)
After the counting
(That’s a lot?)
Take from the whole
(Add to the top)
What trickles down
(Leftovers don’t stop…)
[Final Chorus – Dark Reprise]
Leftovers…
(After the plot)
All that remains
(That’s a lot…)
Count it again
(Take another shot)
After the billions…
(Leftovers… that’s all we got…)
[Outro – Dissolution]
[Low Piano, Sub Bass Fading, Static Crackle]
Would ya look at what remains…
(Leftovers…)
… and gravy stains
