Full song lyrics with chord progression:

(Verse 1)
Am-F-C-G
In the shadow of the city lights, I stand,
Am-F-C-G
Wearing rusty chains of freedom around my hand.
Am-F-C-G
In a world that’s lost, where no one understands,
Am-F-C-G
We cry out loud, we’re the defiant band.

(Chorus)
F-G-Am-F
We’re ‘Messy Objection’, breaking down the walls,
F-G-Am-F
With our music as our weapon, we answer the call.
F-G-Am-F
Against the system, and society’s deception,
F-G-Am-F
We’re the voice of the unheard, we’re the ‘Messy Objection’.

(Verse 2)
Am-F-C-G
In the silence of the crowd, under the neon haze,
Am-F-C-G
We sing our songs, giving voice to the disarray.
Am-F-C-G
Every note we strike, every word we say,
Am-F-C-G
Is for the ones who’ve been led astray.

(Chorus)
F-G-Am-F
We’re ‘Messy Objection’, tearing apart the lies,
F-G-Am-F
With our rhythm as our ammo, we rise.
F-G-Am-F
Against the chains, against the oppression,
F-G-Am-F
We’re the anthem of rebellion, we’re the ‘Messy Objection’.
