How can they stand idle
Comfortably entitled
Sunday singing from the Bible
Monday's murder going viral
Now my ears keep bleeding
From hearing that helpless man pleading
How long can we be indifferent
To brutality?
When they squeeze him unconscious
Our silence makes us an accomplice
Tear gas, so many years pass
It's the violence makes me cry tonight
Not the canisters of
Tear gas, still fighting this mess
Colin, take that knee again
We kneel with you in protest
Blacks, browns, gays they wanna stifle
The KKK is on revival
The whole color palette his rival
The eighteen hundreds keep recycling
When they squeeze him unconscious
Our silence makes us an accomplice
Tear gas, so many years pass
It's the violence makes me cry tonight
Not the canisters of
Tear gas, still fighting this mess
Colin, take that knee again
We kneel with you in protest
Tear gas, so many years pass
It's the violence makes me cry tonight
Not the canisters of
Tear gas, still fighting this mess
Colin, take that knee again
We kneel with you in protest
