Can't breathe, can't breathe, face pressed to the street
Gasping for air as if strung among the leaves
Come and see, come and see, children please hear his plea
Record each moment so the world takes heed

Sick to our stomachs, until we dry heave rage
Watching grown men call for mama as the life inside them wanes
"This isn't who we are." Wrong. This is exactly who we've been
A nation awash in multigenerational sins

If they can do this in broad daylight
Imagine everything they do in the shadows
If we do nothing while the world burns
We deserve the darkness that comes tomorrow

Don't kneel, don't yell. Air your grievances politely
Don't fuss, all's well, say the Samuel Seaburys
So comfortable in the skin in which they were born
Both their weapon and the armor shielding them from harm

They claim all's fair, but they'd never trade places
Just return to the normal where they always come up aces
They've never stared down gas masks and rubber truncheons
Or faced "protectors" lusting for executions

If they can do this in broad daylight
Imagine everything they do in the shadows
If we do nothing while the world burns
We deserve the darkness that comes tomorrow

The relics of the past must come crashing down
Together we can change the world, starting with our own town
History can be written in the words of a single voice
Imagine when a million stand and make their choice

Why wonder what our children will think of us tomorrow
when we don't know if they'll live to see tonight? 
And if they see tomorrow, will it only be time borrowed
Or will they finally see the end of the injustices we fight?

If they can do this in broad daylight
Imagine everything they do in the shadows
If we do nothing while the world burns
We deserve the darkness that comes tomorrow

If they can do this in broad daylight
Imagine everything they do in the shadows
If we do nothing while the world burns
We deserve the ashes that fall tomorrow
