Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a former chair who saw the giant's grip
Called out the marketplace monopoly trip
While a professor up at Columbia way
Coined the curse that's growing every day
The bigness that consumes and never shares
Breaking competition everywhere

[Chorus]
Seven voices in the wilderness calling
Warning us before the curtain's falling
They see the patterns, know the game
Speaking truth without the fame
Learn their wisdom, hear their call
Before the giants own it all

[Verse 2]
A newsletter writer tracks the power flow
Shows us what the monopolists don't want us to know
Two authors penned the capitalism myth
A co-founder leads the movement swift
Fighting concentration's deadly hold
Stories that need to be told

[Chorus]
Seven voices in the wilderness calling
Warning us before the curtain's falling
They see the patterns, know the game
Speaking truth without the fame
Learn their wisdom, hear their call
Before the giants own it all

[Verse 3]
Up north there's a movement standing strong
Never fifty-one percent, they sing their song
Social capital partners lead the way
Keeping concentration's grip at bay
While across the ocean research flows
Oxford data that exposes

[Bridge]
From FTC investigations deep
To private equity's promises they never keep
From Canadian sovereignty's protective stance
To empirical proof that breaks their trance
These seven see what others miss
Knowledge is our genesis

[Chorus]
Seven voices in the wilderness calling
Warning us before the curtain's falling
They see the patterns, know the game
Speaking truth without the fame
Learn their wisdom, hear their call
Before the giants own it all

[Outro]
When markets fail and power grows
These seven teach us what to know
Their research lights the darkened way
For democracy's brighter day
