Were you ever taught when you were young / If you mess with things selfishly they’re bound to come undone? / I’m not the only one / That’s been affected and resented every story you’ve spun, and I’m a lucky one

’Cause there are people worse off that have suffered enough / Haven’t they suffered enough? / But you can’t get enough of shutting down systems for personal gain / Fighting fires with flayers and praying for rain / Do you get off on pain? / We’re not pawns in your game

Commander in Chief, honestly / If I did the things you do, I couldn’t sleep / Seriously, do you even know the truth? / We’re in a state of crisis, people are dying / While you line your pockets deep / Commander in Chief, how does it feel to still be able to breathe?

We were taught when we were young / If we fight for what’s right there won’t be justice for just some / Won’t give up, stand our ground / We’ll be in the streets while you’re bunkering down / Loud and proud, best believe / We’ll still take a knee while you’re

Commander in Chief, honestly / If I did the things you do, I couldn’t sleep / Seriously, do you even know the truth? / We’re in a state of crisis, people are dying / While you line your pockets deep / Commander in Chief, how does it feel to still be able to breathe?

Breathe / Be able to breathe

Won’t give up, stand our ground / We’ll be in the streets while you’re bunkering down / Won’t give up, stand our ground / We’ll be in the streets while you’re

Commander in Chief, honestly / If I did the things you do, I couldn’t sleep / Seriously, do you even know the truth? / We’re in a state of crisis, people are dying / While you line your pockets deep / Commander in Chief, how does it feel to still be able to breathe?

Able to breathe
