I Can't Breathe
By the hand of God I swear
I was hung out to dry
I've done a lot of bad things in my life
But I'm not one to lie
Just an old dog tied to a tree
And I'm scratching fleas
Hard times and even harder places
When there's nowhere left to go
I can not breathe I can not see anymore
They take every last drop squeeze blood from my bones
No, they won't stop til I'm laying on a cold pine board
I can not breathe I can not see
My mind is cut like a diamond
And it hasn't lost its shine
But I'm tired of keeping the peace
And just towing the line
So fuck your laws and fuck your rules
They're not protecting me
In hard times and even harder places
Let me tell you where you can go
I can not breathe I can not see anymore
They take every last drop squeeze blood from my bones
No, they won't stop til I'm laying on a cold pine board
I can not breathe I can not see
I can not breathe I can not see anymore
They take every last drop squeeze blood from my bones
No, they won't stop til I'm laying on a cold pine board
I can not breathe I can not see
I can not breathe I can not see anymore
They take every last drop squeeze blood from my bones
No, they won't stop til I'm laying on a cold pine board
I can not breathe I can not see
I was hung out to dry
I've done a lot of bad things in my life
But I'm not one to lie
Just an old dog tied to a tree
And I'm scratching fleas
Hard times and even harder places
When there's nowhere left to go
I can not breathe I can not see anymore
They take every last drop squeeze blood from my bones
No, they won't stop til I'm laying on a cold pine board
I can not breathe I can not see
My mind is cut like a diamond
And it hasn't lost its shine
But I'm tired of keeping the peace
And just towing the line
So fuck your laws and fuck your rules
They're not protecting me
In hard times and even harder places
Let me tell you where you can go
I can not breathe I can not see anymore
They take every last drop squeeze blood from my bones
No, they won't stop til I'm laying on a cold pine board
I can not breathe I can not see
I can not breathe I can not see anymore
They take every last drop squeeze blood from my bones
No, they won't stop til I'm laying on a cold pine board
I can not breathe I can not see
I can not breathe I can not see anymore
They take every last drop squeeze blood from my bones
No, they won't stop til I'm laying on a cold pine board
I can not breathe I can not see
