Lyrics
"Enough Is Enough"
Written and Composed by Yves Stilmant ©2025 ASCAP
Genre: Modern Country Rock / Protest Ballad
Tone: Defiant, emotional, raw, working-class rage with heart
[Verse 1]
Clocked in early, stayed too late
Bills don't care if I break
They sit high while we scrape by
Feeding families on a prayer and pride
[Verse 2]
They cut the help, raised the cost
Said, "Tough it out," while we got lost
They don't see the things we do
But we keep this country movin' through
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep on goin', head down low
But there's a fire they need to know
[Chorus - Singalong, simple, strong]
Enough is enough -- we've had it with lies
We work too damn hard to just get by
We build, we serve, we love, we care
And still they leave us gasping for air
Enough is enough -- we're takin' it back
No more silence, no more slack
This is our home, we've had enough
Yeah, enough is enough
[Verse 3]
Mama's pills, Daddy's rent
Every cent already spent
Still we rise and still we run
But this fight has just begun
[Pre-Chorus]
You made your money, took your share
Now we're the ones who have to care
[Chorus - repeat with rising harmony]
Enough is enough -- we've had it with lies
We work too damn hard to just get by
We build, we serve, we love, we care
And still they leave us gasping for air
Enough is enough -- we're takin' it back
No more silence, no more slack
This is our home, we've had enough
Yeah, enough is enough
[Bridge - emotional lift]
This is for the waitress on her feet
The dad who skips his meal to eat
The nurse who works through every storm
The hands that keep this nation warm
We're not your numbers, not your tools
We're done believing in your rules
We rise for truth, we stand for care
You'll find your reckoning right here
[Final Chorus - with gang vocals / big crowd feel]
Enough is enough -- we're drawin' the line
We won't be fooled one more time
We build, we serve, we bleed, we give
Now we demand the right to live
Enough is enough -- no turnin' back
We've earned our place, now feel the crack
This is our home, we've had enough
Yeah, enough is enough
