Silverback Democracy is a sharp, sardonic commentary on how modern society rewards arrogance over integrity.

It calls out the way loud egos rise while empathy gets sidelined not because the system’s broken, but because it’s designed that way. 

The lyrics walk the listener through that brutal logic: we cheer the clowns, worship confidence, and label noise as truth.

It’s not an angry protest it’s exasperation sung with a smirk.

The narrator isn’t screaming for change, they’re holding up a mirror and saying, “Look. This is us. This is how we work.”


[Verse 1]
The system’s fine it’s meant to be,
Loudmouths win, not empathy.
Egos climb, the kind step down,
The wise ones run from the crown.

[Chorus]
Silverback democracy,
Confidence beats honesty.
We follow noise, not clarity,
It’s working, perfectly.

[Verse 2]
The calm stay quiet, the cruel stay loud,
The stage is set, we love a crowd.
We don’t want truth, we want a show,
We built this world, we let it grow.

[Verse 3]
You clap for clowns, you call them kings,
You cheer the loudest, emptiest things.
They shout, you bow, you think it’s true
It’s madness, through and through.

[Bridge]
Power burns, the sane step back,
Good hearts don’t survive the pack.

[Final Chorus]
Silverback democracy,
It’s not broke it’s policy.
We follow noise, not clarity,
It’s working, perfectly.

[Outro ]
It’s working, perfectly...
Yeah, perfectly.
