Wear the Mask, Win the Seat
You walked the market square with a borrowed grin
A beer in hand, a tale of humble kin
Dressed down for show – but tailored by power
Promised the storm, whispered: “We are the same”
But we saw you rehearse in rearview mirrors
We saw you flinch when truth got near
Wear the mask, win the seat
Sell your soul, call it democracy
You played the man, played the martyr
Until the chair stuck and the crowd disappeared
You shouted “We!” but always meant “I”
Shook hands not for hearts – just for the lens
And once the throne was bolted in place
You shut the door on every voice that built you
You kissed the ground you planned to sell
And we stood still – with empty hands, hollow eyes
Wear the mask, win the seat
Betray slowly so it sounds like compromise
You played the man, played the martyr
But we see now – it was always a stage
We are not your scripted silence
We tear the curtain, remember every line
Wear the mask, win the seat
But we’ll tear down your throne, we know who you are
You played the man, played the martyr
Now the lights are off – and you’re alone in the dark
