here’s a set of lyrics that reflect on the theme of Trump signing an order pushing cities and states to remove homeless people from the streets. The lyrics aim to be poetic and thought-provoking, capturing multiple perspectives (authority, society, and the homeless themselves) in a storytelling format. The tone is reflective and critical, yet balanced.
?? Title: "Out of Sight"
(Verse 1)
Neon signs flicker on a midnight street
Cardboard beds where the silence sleeps
A voice from the tower says "clean it fast"
Erase the scars, paint over the past
Steel pen in hand, with a headline grin
He signs the order, lets the sweep begin
"Fix the view for the camera's frame
Make the sidewalks great again"
(Chorus)
Out of sight, but never gone
You can move the people, but the pain lives on
Push them down where the light won’t shine
But truth don’t vanish with a dotted line
Out of sight—doesn’t make it right
(Verse 2)
City hall echoes with marching feet
Politicians promise a safer street
But no roof comes with a police van
No hope grows from a cold demand
A mother shivers with a hungry child
While headlines cheer, "The streets are styled"
What’s the cost of a world pristine
When hearts are lost to a broken dream?
(Chorus)
Out of sight, but never gone
You can fence the park, you can change the song
Push them back to the edge of town
But stories don’t die just 'cause no one's around
Out of sight—doesn’t make it right
(Bridge)
There’s a man with a sign that no one reads
A war vet haunted by forgotten deeds
And a girl with a dream that slipped through cracks
She ain’t trash—you can’t sweep that
(Breakdown)
It’s not just tents, it’s not just mess
It’s lives unlived, it’s tenderness
You build your wall, you clear the scene
But justice don’t live in a power scheme
(Final Chorus)
Out of sight, but never gone
We are more than burdens waiting to be drawn
You can silence cries with flashing lights
But the shame won't fade in the sleepless night
Out of sight—doesn’t make it right
