David Hodgman - Everybody Scream

Everybody, shh, we're making too much noise
Everybody, shh, we've lost another voice
Nine minutes of air, offended by a knee
The same recurring nightmare, I can't breathe

Temperatures are rising, summer fever on the way
Your protest advertising isn't gonna play
And your eyes still sting, your ears still ring
Tear gassed still hear George gasping 'I can't breathe'

Everybody, shh, settle down and take your seats
Everybody, shh, time to let someone else speak
Eleven pleas for breath, choked out on the street
No justice, no peace in death, I can't breathe

Temperatures are rising, summer heat is on the way
Masses mobilizing, just waiting for the day
Your eyes may sting, your ears may ring
But if you try you can hear Eric crying 'I can't breathe'

Everybody scream, if we're ever gonna change
Everybody scream, for those living in the firing range
Six stops along the way, no sense of emergency
A final plea from Mr. Gray, I can't breathe

Temperatures are rising, summer fire's gonna burn
To all of us surviving, let's give someone else a turn
Our eyes will sting, our ears will ring
But it's not a dream, I heard Freddy scream 'I can't breathe'

Centuries of pain, suffering the same deceit
Can't just say their names, can't even let them breathe
Everybody scream
Everybody scream

Everybody shh, I can't breathe
Everybody shh, I can't breathe
