lyrics

They should be here, not just a memory
you’ll get thoughts and prayers, god forbid you take a knee
and we’ve seen reason bent, strung up in a tree
freedom as a weapon in the land of liberty

What can I do but sing in protest?
People of Color die by bad police
What I can do is sing my protest
All People have the right to dignity and peace
All People have the right to live in dignity and peace.

Old history- teacher to the brave
drove those natives west for the land to be worked by slave
and we hold these truths to be self evident
from the pens of hypocrites on to this lament.

What can I do but sing my protest?
People of Color die by bad police
What I can do is sing my protest
All People have the right to dignity and peace
All People have the right to live in dignity and peace.

Sweet Elijah was only twenty three
when they forced him down and pumped him full of ketamine
and you can hear his cries on the audio
those people killed him, and he was just walking home.

What I can do is sing my protest:

All People Have The Right To Dignity And Peace.

Manny:

“It’s okay to say their names: Trayvon Martin, Sean Bell, Oscar Grant, Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor”
