EVERYBODY LOVED BIG GEORGE I HEARD ‘EM SAY
A SON AND FATHER TAKEN LONG BEFORE HIS DAY
FOR TWENTY DOLLAR$ THEY TOOK THAT POOR MAN’S LIFE
‘CAUSE MEN WITH BADGES ARE SET ON PERPETUATING STRIFE
NOW THE STREETS ARE BURNING, LIKE THE FLAMES OF HELL (I CAN FEEL THE HEAT)
ONLY CHANGE A COMIN’ IS WHEN THE SILENT YELL
HE BEGGED FOR HIS LIFE IN A PUBLIC EXECUTION
LEAVING ANGRY VOICES CRYING FOR A REVOLUTION
THINGS HAVE TO CHANGE, THE TIME IS HERE
TIME TO DISAVOW THE ARCHITECTS OF FEAR
NOW THE STREETS ARE BURNING, LIKE THE FLAMES OF HELL (IT STINGS MY EYES)
ONLY CHANGE A COMIN’ IS WHEN THE SILENT YELL
(CHORUS)
I CAN’T BREATHE, HE SAID
I CAN’T UNHEAR HIS PLEA
I CAN’T BREATHE, AND WHAT THEY DID TO HIM
I CAN’T UNSEE
I CAN’T BREATHE, HE SAID
AND I CAN’T LET IT BE
JACKBOOTED THUGS TERRORIZE IN THE NAME OF THE LAW
TO SERVE AND PROTECT TRANSFORMED TO SHOCK AND AWE
THE PRIVILEGED CAN HIDE, BUT I KNOW THIS MUCH IS TRUE
BE PREPARED TO TOE THE LINE OR THEY’LL BE COMING FOR YOU TOO
THE STREETS ARE BURNING, THEY BURN LIKE HELL
ONLY CHANGE A COMIN’ IS WHEN THE SILENT YELL
(CHORUS)

AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE
ISN’T THAT THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE?
WE’RE ONLY FREE TO DIG OUR OWN GRAVES
AFTERALL WE’RE A COUNTRY BUILT ON BLOOD OF SLAVES
I’M AS MAD AS HELL, I’M AS MAD AS HELL
AND I DON’T THINK I CAN TAKE THIS ANYMORE
YOU’RE AN S.O.B. IF YOU TAKE A KNEE
NOW OUR COPS ARE LIVING FIRST-SHOOTEER FANTASIES
WHILE THE ELITE CAN WATCH FROM THEIR HOUSE ON THE HILL
WE’RE IN THE DITCHES SWEATING BLOOD TRYIN’ TO PAY OUR BILLS
YEAH WE'RE AS MAD AS HELL, WE'RE MAD AS HELL
AND WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE
HEY, HEY ,HEY
THIS IS REVOLUTION, THE REVOLUTION WON’T BE TELEVISED
THIS IS RETRIBUTION FOR HYPOCRICY AND THEIR LIES
THIS IS, THIS IS
REVOLUTION
THE TIME FOR CHANGE WAS YESTERDAY
THERE’S BLOOD TO PAY, THERE’S BLOOD TO PAY
LETS HOPE WE FIND A PEACEFUL WAY
BUT WE’LL KEEP ON SCREAMING TILL YOU HEAR WHAT WE SAY
HEY, HEY ,HEY
THIS IS REVOLUTION, THE REVOLUTION WON’T BE TELEVISED
THIS IS RETRIBUTION FOR HYPOCRICY AND THEIR LIES
THIS IS REVOLUTION, THE REVOLUTION WON’T BE TELEVISED
THIS IS, THIS IS
REVOLUTION

HUSH MY DARLIN’, DON’T YOU CRY
ALL GOD’S CHILDREN, WON’T BE DENIED
WE’LL TEAR DOWN WALLS, LOOK FEAR IN THE EYE
AND IF WE FALL, WE WILL RISE
AND WHEN THE DAWN BREAKS
WE’LL FIND OUR OWN WAY
‘CAUSE GOD IS LOVE, GOD IS LOVE
IF WE ARE ONE, WE SHALL RISE ABOVE
SOMEDAY WE’LL FIND UNITY
SOMEWHERE WE’LL FIND THE STRENGTH TO BE
OURSELVES, WE ARE STARS
AND TONIGHT, WE’LL SHINE
SOMEDAY WE’LL FIND UNITY (WHO-OH-OH)
SOMEWHERE WE’LL FIND THE STRENGTH TO BE
OURSELVES, WE ARE STARS
AND TONIGHT, WE’LL SHINE
SOMEDAY WE’LL FIND UNITY (WHOA-OH-OH)
SOMEWHERE WE’LL FIND THE STRENGTH TO BE
OURSELVES, WE ARE STARS
AND TONIGHT, WE’LL SHINE
HUSH MY DARLIN’, DON’T YOU CRY
ALL GOD’S CHILDREN, WON’T BE DENIED
IF WE ARE ONE
