We Held The Line
2025 was a year of wins against fascism.
It is easy to get demoralized by the daily flood of atrocities and horribles being inflicted on Americans and the world by this regime. But it is inspiring to see that we’re not taking this shit lying down; we’re standing up, we’re pushing back, and we’re winning in opposition. We are strong and they are weak.
Take a look back at 2025 and recognize just how much we’ve accomplished as we’ve defended our way of life. The lyrics below include links to many of those wins. Also scroll to the bottom for alternate versions of this song.
Lyrics
We heard the heavy boots coming for the town
But we had a tool to shut the whole thing down.
Three sharp blasts, yeah, we blew the device
A thousand shrill whistles to melt the ICE.
And down at Home Depot, we formed the queue
With a seventeen-cent scraper and a job to do.
We clogged up the lines, yeah, we made them wait
Turned corporate collaboration into a national debate.
They told us to scatter, they told us to hide
But we found the power on the other side...
And we said No Kings. We said no crowns.
We said hell no! We did not stand down.
Twelve million voices make a solemn vow.
From courtrooms to our neighborhoods, we stood tall
They tried to build a fortress, we became the wall.
Yeah, we held the line. (We held the line!)
Up in Wisconsin, Elon tried to buy a judge
But the voters said nah, they wouldn’t budge.
And the Blue Wave flipped seats in New Jersey, Virginia,
Iowa, Georgia, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania.
Texas rigged the maps to steal the fight
But California answered to set the balance right.
In deep red Indiana, the GOP said (no!)
They looked at Trump, said (We will not bow!)
They told us it’s over, they told us to fold
But courage is a currency that can’t be sold.
And we said No Kings. We said no crowns.
We said hell no! We did not stand down.
Twelve million voices make a solemn vow.
From courtrooms to our neighborhoods, we stood tall
They tried to build a fortress, we became the wall.
Yeah, we held the line. (We held the line!)
And look who’s marching in the pouring rain,
Pepe switched sides, broke the fascist chain.
The frogs joined the people, yeah, we took it back
Turning hate into love on a brand new track.
From the Rapid Response on our neighborhood streets
To the Chanhassen roof in the snow and the sleet...
The Winter Watch stood guard in the sub-zero air
To return a worker to his family’s prayer.
And we said No Kings. We said no crowns.
We said hell no! We did not stand down.
Twelve million voices make a solemn vow.
From courtrooms to our neighborhoods, we stood tall
They tried to build a fortress, we became the wall.
Yeah, we held the line. (We held the line!)
We held the line.
2026, it’s our time.
No Kings!
