lyrics

We don't have the time to wait
White silence perpetuates
The wrong end of history
It's a god damn mystery
Why black lives are even up for a debate
Against a violent police state
You’re screaming Unity! Unity! Oh the irony
Performative actions won’t solve a damn thing

Attention! Attention! Read all about it!
We're dropping like flies, local punk he doubts it!
Attention! Attention! Read all about it!
We're dropping like flies, local punk he doubts it!

Fundamentally broken
Racism inherently woven in
Spending Billions on the police
Who continue to break down communities
And there’s No medicine, no therapy
No food, shelter, basic needs
No space for art or libraries
No money there and yet we lead
In prisons inmates and in cops
The numbers of those who been shot
The victims of the death and violence
Nows not the time to be silent

Have the awkward conversation
Can't reform a broken nation
400 years of lost time
This cannot be fixed overnight
