No Place to Breathe |
| I saw you stumble out from the social slaughterhouse |
| Oppression’s progeny, you lift your head and plead for mercy |
| Rocks began as building blocks until they turned to throwing stones |
| A monolith of dominance we set atop your plinth of bones |
| This privilege is a prism, reflecting our indecision |
| The iniquities of inhibition, our indifference gave way to a prison |
| Classes at war, castes are born, criminals are sworn in |
| Place your hands to the pulse of this city |
| Keep your ear to the ground, hear her gasp |
| «I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe» |
| Are we so blind to believe that violence could give birth to peace? |
| Lay down our weapons and raise our arms |
| Make every breath a protest |
| In a world where your neighbors cannot breathe |
| Every second in the shadows, lives are stolen in the sun |
| Slowly waking from our apathy to see the fascists have won |
| They already won |
| Just ask the child in front of the smoking gun |
| Are we so blind to believe that violence could give birth to peace? |
| Place your hands to the pulse of this city |
| Keep your ear to the ground, hear him gasp |
| «I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe» |
| We shout at fascist hands, fixed on asphyxiating those in need |
| Place your hands to the pulse of this city |
| Keep your ear to the ground, hear them gasp |
| «I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe» |
| Are we so blind to believe that violence could give birth to peace? |
| I’ve seen the end |
| The tyrant on his knees |
| Will we starve our need for retribution |
| Or take his eye and all go blind? |
