The raw emotion of the song is poignant and powerful as she takes us down a path questioning the current government\u2019s impact on the N.I.H, the environment, our schools, D.E.I., the F.D.A. and more.&nbsp; \u201cNo Kings in America\u201d is a reflective tune and a reminder music can be a catalyst for social change. While it may be only Lisa\u2019s voice that sings the song, it gives us all a voice to remind those in power that no one is above the law. &nbsp;(Lois P.
