No Air 03:42
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 ACAC ACAC ACAC 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 chorus

Time to Go 01:45
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 chorus

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
