A Is for Amelia (Subtitle: You saw V for Vendetta - now it’s time for A for Amelia)
Verse 1
You saw a mask and fireworks bloom,
A parliament lit in a Guy Fawkes plume,
Anger shouted, freedom roared,
Truth was loud, rebellion scored.
But history learned to lower its voice,
Swap the chant for a curated choice,
No fists, no flames, no clash of steel,
Just “guidance,” “care,” and how you feel.
Pre-Chorus
No jackboots marching down the street,
Just comfy language, soft receipts,
No villains twirling moustached delight
Just helpful prompts that nudge you right.
Chorus
You saw V for Vendetta,
Fire, fury, rage and sound,
Now it’s A for Amelia,
Where dissent is gently toned down.
No revolution, no broken glass,
Just pathways guiding every class
Click A or B, you’re nearly free,
Welcome to democracy™.
Verse 2
She doesn’t tell you what to think,
She only redraws the edge of ink,
Labels the map, erases the wild,
Says “this concern is reconciled.”
She smiles in fonts approved by boards,
Speaks in outcomes, not in swords,
And if you pause, or push, or stray,
She meets you halfway - to say “no” your way.
Chorus (Repeat)
You saw V for Vendetta,
Masks and marching, state undone,
Now it’s A for Amelia,
Where power speaks in careful tongues.
No secret police, no midnight van,
Just a learning module, a helping hand
You’re free to choose, but understand:
There’s a right side of the plan.
Bridge (Spoken, Calm, Institutional)
“Your question is important.
Your feelings are valid.
However, this pathway
Does not support that conclusion.”
(beat drops back in)
Verse 3
And that’s the joke the kids all saw,
The velvet glove, the hidden law,
They didn’t riot, didn’t scream
They turned her face into a meme.
Screenshot here, ironic reply,
Authority shrinks when laughed at dry,
Empires don’t fall from rebel cries
They fade when no one buys the lie.
Final Chorus (Big, Ironic, Almost Hopeful)
You saw V for Vendetta,
When power ruled by fear and flame,
Now it’s A for Amelia,
Same old game, a gentler frame.
And when the pathway ends in doubt,
And every choice is filtered out,
Remember this - the kids still see:
A’s for authority, not agency.
Outro
No mask, no cape, no final scene,
Just laughter where the truth had been.
From trident, crown, to tablet screen
You saw V…
Now you’ve seen A.
