Verse:
Am
We’re in the red, it’s all we know,
G
But we won’t let our spirit go,
F
We’ll count our blessings, not our debt,
C
Turn despair into a silhouette.

Chorus:
Am
Silver linings of debt, oh, we won’t forget,
G
The system’s broken, it’s a losing bet.
F
But we’ll keep fighting, keep singing our song,
C
In the face of injustice, we’ll keep standing strong.

Am
The rich get richer, the poor stay poor,
G
It’s a cycle we don’t ignore.
F
We’ll raise our voices, strum our strings,
C
‘Til the fat cats pay and the freedom bell rings.

Chorus:
Am
Silver linings of debt, in the silhouette,
G
We’re the soldiers of change you won’t forget.
F
We’ll keep playing, keep humming along,
C
In the face of adversity, we’re undeniably strong.
