Lyrics

I can’t breathe

We were told we could live the American dream But in truth it’s a nightmare l just want to scream Our voices get buried, rewritten, unseen, when you’re ruled by a court that is far from supreme

For Liberty, justice for all we would pledge Now fractured and frightened, we deepen the wedge between races and sexes so close to the edge but all of our progress they once again dredge

I can’t breathe I can’t breathe I can’t breathe I can’t breathe

They steal all our money, our savings, our funds, To bankroll their wars, all their bombs and their guns But hide all your daughters and hide all your sons Until bullets rain down and the children should run.

The tyrant enforcers have marched through the street So get out your papers and be more discreet For no one is safe, even children they beat And they’ll silence all voices who dare to compete.

I can’t breathe I can’t breathe I can’t breathe I can’t breathe
