Can't Breathe
Walking with my wife to brunch
We see a young man get punched
Turns out it's the boys in blue
Making trouble breaking rules
They say he resists arrest
Bystanders gather to protest
Officer you seem upset
But he can't breathe with your knee on his neck
Can't breathe with your knee on his neck
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck and
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck and
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck
After while a crowd collects
Watching cops harass the suspect
Telling us not to do drugs
Smirking faces looking smug
People whipping out their phones
Cop say to disperse to go home
People asking if there's a pulse and to check
Cause he can't breathe with your knee on his neck
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck and
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck and
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck and
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck
Fuk the Police (over and over and over)
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck and
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck
Neck neck neck neck
Excuse me officer could you get off?
We see a young man get punched
Turns out it's the boys in blue
Making trouble breaking rules
They say he resists arrest
Bystanders gather to protest
Officer you seem upset
But he can't breathe with your knee on his neck
Can't breathe with your knee on his neck
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck and
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck and
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck
After while a crowd collects
Watching cops harass the suspect
Telling us not to do drugs
Smirking faces looking smug
People whipping out their phones
Cop say to disperse to go home
People asking if there's a pulse and to check
Cause he can't breathe with your knee on his neck
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck and
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck and
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck and
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck
Fuk the Police (over and over and over)
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck and
He can't breathe with your knee on his neck
Neck neck neck neck
Excuse me officer could you get off?
