The shortest straw the bourgeois made us draw The shortest straw declawed us with your laws The shortest straw now will be the last and break your spineless backs We cannot breathe we're choking on your smears Liberty thieves our words won't disappear Bound to bereave year after year so we're immune to tear gas We're starving, you're numb to pain We're fighting, you're playing games Protesting, you're on parade throwing empty emblems So tell me, can we teach the blind to see With fire setting ablaze their eyes Bombardier can we help the deaf hear With thunder rolling from our cries Unborn walking as if they've seen the light Sleepers talking as if they know the plight Different colors obscuring the one thread stitching vision forward Siamese twins tearing out their seems Shedding skin, stomping out our dreams Couldn't recognize the strange fruit from an overrippened orchard. So tell me, can we teach the blind to see With fire setting ablaze their eyes Bombardier can we help the deaf hear With thunder rolling from our cries Brother, by and by, you've got a long way to fall 'Till we're eye to eye Brother, don't you lie, you've got a long way to fall Break line testify Brother, gemini, you've got a long way to fall Long way to fall
