Some of the radio excerpts used here were recorded live as the Capitol riot unfolded on the radio while sitting in the parking lot of the downtown New Orleans post office. The rest was cobbled together from various clips, including from the prosecution video during the 2nd Trump impeachment.
lyrics
“Treason!”
“Pence was a traitor! Traitor Pence!”
“We’re gonna walk down, and I’ll be there with you...we’re gonna walk down...to the Capitol.”
“Yeah! Let’s take the Capitol! Take the Capitol! Take it!”
“We are going to the Capitol, where our problems are - it’s that direction.”
Every window shatters;
Yells and broken glass.
Full of rage, with war to wage,
They swarm the place en masse.
Livid from deception.
Packing flags and guns.
They see a man in uniform and break into a run.
He rushes up the stairs,
They follow, seething hate,
Ready to burn the whole place down,
Or break what they can break.
Meanwhile on the front lawn,
Noose and guillotine
Get hastily erected
While the crowd surrounding screams.
Back inside the building,
They beat a man to death,
A follower gets shot,
Both breathe their final breath.
Behind the big oak doors,
Underneath a desk,
A family is hiding,
Scared of what comes next.
Weeping silent tears,
Praying for their life,
They escape by the edge of a knife.
Lies are the enemy.
“Break it down!”
“Where the fuck are they?”
(windows being broken)
(gunshot killing Ashli Babbitt)
“Use the shield!
"We need fresh patriots to the front!
(screaming, sirens, chaos)
“Fight for Trump!”
