Lyrics

Black coats walking through the rain
No one knows from where we came
Record kings upon their thrones
Selling dreams they never owned

They've got money, we've got pride
They've got armies, we've got fire
They've got contracts, we've got songs
And we've been coming all along

Raise your glass, boys, raise it high
One more battle, one more night
They can keep their silver crowns
We're here to burn their kingdom down

By order of the Syndicate
We don't bow, we don't break
Raise the flag, let the music play
We're taking their crown away

Oh-oh-oh, let the whiskey flow
Oh-oh-oh, let the whole world know
No more kings, no more chains
The Syndicate changes the game

Hey! Hey! Hey
Callahan! Clan
Hey! Hey! Hey
Syndicate

London whispers, New York calls
Our name is written on their walls
From Dublin streets to Hollywood
They'd stop us now if only they could

They bought the radio, bought the press
Turned their artists into debts
But you can't buy the people's song
And you can't stop what's coming on

Raise your glass, boys, raise it high
We were born to live, not hide
Let the old men fear our name
The music business ain't the same

By order of the Syndicate
We don't bow, we don't break
Raise the flag, let the music play
We're taking the crown away

Oh-oh-oh, let the whiskey flow
Oh-oh-oh, let the whole world know
No more kings, no more chains
The Syndicate changes the game

They said we'd never make it
They said we'd never last

But empires built on money
Always fear the ones with nothing to lose
And gentlemen
The music belongs to all of us

By order of the syndicate
We don't bow, we don't break
From the shadows to the stage
We're writing a brand new age

Oh-oh-oh, let the whiskey flow
Oh-oh-oh, let the whole world know
No more kings, no more chains
The Syndicate changes the game

They controlled the industry

Until the Syndicate arrived

By order of the Callahan Clan
