Invalids On The Roof

(Verse 1)
Spotlights sweep like prison eyes
Barbed wire halos scrape the skies
They stand above with rifles raised
On rooftops built from fear and praise

Steel-toed boots on sacred ground
They laugh while justice’s drowned
Protesters chant, fists in the air
But bullets answer every prayer

(Chorus)
Invalids on the roof — taking aim at truth
Firing down on hope, uncaged and bulletproof
Invalids on the roof — cowards in command
Shooting at the voices they don’t understand

(Verse 2)
Detention walls, a nation’s shame
They guard the lie, they play the game
Children cry beneath the floodlights
While agents pose as gods of blight

They call it order, call it law
But it’s just cruelty with a badge and claw
They fear the crowd, they fear the song
So they shoot to prove they still belong

(Chorus)
Invalids on the roof — taking aim at truth
Firing down on hope, uncaged and bulletproof
Invalids on the roof — cowards in command
Shooting at the voices they don’t understand

(Bridge)
We see you — perched like vultures
Feeding on the bones of culture
But every shot you fire in vain
Just fuels the fire, spreads the stain

(Final Chorus)
Invalids on the roof — your reign is rust
Built on silence, built on dust
Invalids on the roof — we rise, we scream
You can’t kill a righteous dream
