No Air

Another day, another death
Someone’s crying out struggling for breath
No justice, no air
Boiling in the summer heat
People taking to the streets
No hesitation, no fear
Empty hands, police attack
Another bullet in the back
No justice, no air
Marching strong, night after night
Standing up for human rights
No hesitation, no fear
Waging war on communities
The biggest gang is the police
No justice, no air
Fire reflected in their eyes
Through the flames the people rise
No hesitation, no fear
chorus
He’s crying for his mother
Just another racist murder
These families torn asunder
How can we push them any further
Another day, another child
Whose killer never goes to trial
No justice, no air
One story ends, another starts
Let’s stab this monster through the heart
No hesitation, no fear
Another life carelessly lost
Another family bears the cost
No justice, no air
We'll build a system fair and just
Now the cops are scared of us
No hesitation, no fear
chorus
Under the dark sky
a Black body lies
No one hears their cries
Pain lies behind their eyes
Another day, another death
Someone’s crying out struggling for breath
No justice, no air
Boiling in the summer heat
People taking to the streets
No hesitation, no fear
Waging war on communities
The biggest gang it the police
No justice, no air
Fire reflected in their eyes
Through the flames the people rise
No hesitation, no fear
He’s crying for his mother
Just another racist murder
Time to fight back

They wear the badge
They wear the uniform
Does it excuse them when they kill
They say they keep us safe
But who are they protecting
Ones with power ones with privilege
They wear the badge
They wear the uniform
Does it excuse them when they kill
chorus

All cops are culpable
They have a right to kill
No court will convict them
Execution no due process
Did he show his hands
Did he try to run
One bad apple but not this time
They have a right to kill
No court will convict them
Execution no due process
There’s no justice for their victims
No good cops in a racist system
People dying, they won’t listen
No good cops in a racist system
Sounds of sirens pulses quicken
No good cops in a racist system
No more vigils for their victims
No good cops in a racist system
The right to be afraid
The right to wrong decisions
Belongs to the ones with guns
The good cops look away
The good cops circle wagons
So-called good cops share the blame
The right to be afraid
The right to wrong decisions
Belongs to the ones with guns
Chorus
All cops kill

We’re comfortable here in the US of A
500 years history leads us to this day
Our legacy racism poverty crime
We blame the outsider for what we’ve created
We put up our walls, we put up our fences
The people will move, despite our defenses
We put them in cells, we lock them in cages
We leave them to die and we kidnap their children
chorus
Isolation - from a world we could learn from
Fascination - with racist pride
Rationalization - of crimes against humanity
We are a damned nation, ruled by lies
You’re fed propaganda to drum up the fear
Shapes your reality year after year
You’ve only been told what you want to believe
Caught in a loop reinforcing your hatred
You put up your walls, you put up your fences
The people will move, despite your defenses
The source of the rot is inside our borders
It’s easy to hate those you see less than human
chorus
You put up the borders to keep us safe
Make America Great Again, keep that smile on your face
Break down the borders and unveil the truth
children are dying as you sit back aloof
We put up our walls, we put up our fences
The people will move, despite our defenses
We put them in cells, we lock them in cages
We leave them to die and we kidnap their children
You put up your walls, you put up your fences
The people will move, despite your defenses
The source of the rot is inside our borders
It’s easy to hate those you see less than human

his is not a test
Please do not ingest
For if you do
We may not survive
chorus
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
Hey ho it’s time to go
This is a failed test
Way too much abuse
We’re living on a planet
Hanging by a noose
chorus
There are no more tests
No answers to be found
How can we continue
Unless we burn it all down

FEMA camps equipped with guillotines
Ebola hidden in vaccines
The earth is flat, jet streams seed the sky
MLK killed by the FBI
chorus
You can’t make up how bad things are
What greed inspires is worse by far
The system has us on our knees
There is no need for your conspiracies
Secret codes in presidential tweets
Cannibals among East Coast elites
Doctors use unearthly DNA
COINTELPRO spies on the SCA
chorus
Welcome to reptoid nation
Electric radiation
Overtaxed imaginations
With schizoid complications
Find comfort and distraction
In hivemind chain reactions
You’re thinking for yourself
Just like everybody else
Lizard men dressed in human skin
Cell towers send sinister transmissions
It’s the meds that really give you AIDS
Panthers killed in pre-dawn no-knock raids
chorus
