Trash Bats - Breathe Lyrics

When you head out in the morning with that shield strapped to your chest
We expect you to saintly cause boy you gotta be the best
Supposed to be a hero, an example to raise the bar
Protect and serve the people no matter who they are
Brother you ain't the hangman, and you shouldn't wanna be
Cause if you only got hate in your heart what example will you leave?
You stand against the evils, don't bring that evil home
At the end of the day you can't deny that your human after all
Cause if we all took the high road
And all tried this together
To make this life here work
Brother helping brother
Let everyone take the time to catch their breath
Stop all the hate and give real love a chance
Listen John Q Public cause this verse is for you
Be cautious of the response to the things you do
Your actions gonna speak louder than a Facebook eulogy
Don't be a statistic be the best that you can be
It's your duty in this life to help your fellow man
Stop pointing fingers and spewing hate just offer him a hand
You gotta have some faith if you wanna see some change
Cause fighting fire with Fire gonna burn down everything
Cause if we all took the high road
And all tried this together
To make this life here work
Brother helping brother
Let everyone take the time to catch their breath
Stop all the hate and give real love a chance
Stop this hurtful institution but let's do it all alive
We're all really the victims if we let them bullets fly
Black and white don't matter just the color on your face
Cause we're in the shit together as the human race
Don't let them pull the strings oh god don't let them egg you on
We're all so much better than the media's saying we are
If we all stand up together and we let ourselves be heard
We can make our world far greater than it ever really was
Cause if we all took the high road
And all tried this together
To make this life here work
Brother helping brother
Let everyone take the time to catch their breath
Stop all the hate and give real love a chance
