[Intro]
Can you hear it?
(Coming through!)
Got something to say
(And so do you!)
Turn it up
(Don’t turn away)
There’s a whole lot
We need to say!
[Verse 1]
When the truth gets buried
Under all the noise
When the loudest voice
Tries to drown out choice
When the powerful pretend
That wrong is right
And the facts get twisted
In the middle of the night
Don’t sit quietly
Don’t look away
There’s a price to pay
For the things we don’t say
Raise your voice
Make some noise
Democracy depends
On the people’s choice!
[Refrain]
Volume!
(Turn up the volume)
Way up…
(And then some!)
Call out racism
(Call out sexism)
The hypocrisy
(The bigotry)
The anti-science ideology!
Shout out
(Corruption!)
Point out
(Nepotism)
… national malfunction!
[Verse 2]
Call out the lies
(Call out the spin)
Call out the grift
(Where does it end?)
The double standards
(The shifting blame)
The revolving door
(The rigged-up game)
Cronies getting favors
While the public pays
Another broken promise
Another crooked day
Public office
A public trust
Not a private playground
For the privileged and corrupt
[Refrain]
Volume!
(Turn up the volume)
Way up…
(And then some!)
Call out racism
(Call out sexism)
The hypocrisy
(The bigotry)
The anti-science ideology!
Shout out
(Corruption!)
Point out
(Nepotism)
… national malfunction!
[Verse 3]
Call out the hatred
Dressed up as pride
Call out the scapegoats
They use to divide
Call out the censorship
And intimidation
The attacks on truth
And education
When science gets silenced
And reason gets bent
When public money
Becomes a private event
Don’t confuse loud
With being right
Don’t confuse power
With moral might
[Bridge]
Turn it up!
(We won’t shut up!)
Speak it out!
(Without a doubt!)
Show the facts!
(We want them back!)
Ask the why!
(Don’t let it slide!)
No more hiding
No more pretending
No more excuses
For endless bending
Accountability!
(For all to see!)
Transparency!
(That’s democracy!)
[Instrumental Break]
[Vocal Rap Breakdown]
Call out racism
(Call out sexism)
The hypocrisy
(The bigotry)
The anti-science ideology!
Shout out
(Corruption!)
Point out
(Nepotism)
… national malfunction!
Volume!
(Up, up, up!)
Turn it up!
(Enough is enough!)
… of that funked up stuff!
[Refrain]
Volume!
(Turn up the volume)
Way up…
(And then some!)
Call out racism
(Call out sexism)
The hypocrisy
(The bigotry)
The anti-science ideology!
Shout out
(Corruption!)
Point out
(Nepotism)
… national malfunction!
[Final Refrain]
Volume!
(Turn up the volume)
Way up…
(And then some!)
Call out the lies
(Call out the crimes)
Call out the grift
(It’s about time!)
The hypocrisy
(The bigotry)
The anti-science ideology!
Shout out
(Corruption!)
Point out
(Nepotism)
No more
(National malfunction!)
[Outro]
Don’t turn it down
(Don’t turn away)
Keep asking questions
All the day
Turn up the volume
(For all to hear)
The truth gets louder
When we have no fear
Volume!
(And then some!)
Turn it up!
