lyrics

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)
