In the world of language and power dynamics, we find,
Where linguistic dominance shapes the mind.
Through speech acts, we make the way,
In discourse, we speak and sway.
Chorus:
In power relations, we rise to claim,
Through social hierarchy, we play the game.
With linguistic hegemony, we break the chain,
While language policies guide the reign.

Through linguistic imperialism, we set us free.
With code-switching, we navigate,
In rhetoric, we communicate.

Through social hierarchy, we play the game.
With linguistic hegemony, we break the chain,
While language policies guide the reign.

While subordinate discourse plants the seed.

With linguistic hegemony, we break the chain,
While language policies guide the reign.

In power structures, we make our name,
With public speech, we stake our claim.

Through language inequality, we face the day.

While political correctness changes it all.

Through social hierarchy, we play the game.

With cultural imperialism, we take flight.
Through strategic communication, we lead,
And interpersonal power we plant the seed.

Through language agency, we play the game.
In socio-political discourse, we find our voice,
With social influence, we make the choice.

Through social hierarchy, we play the game.
With linguistic hegemony, we break the chain,
While language policies guide the reign.

In power and resistance, we break the wrath.
With critical discourse analysis, we see the truth,
And in language and power dynamics, we stand proof.
