You took all we had away
You’re quick to call it sick, but we’ve been damned to say

I can’t breathe, it’s a cellphone
Please don’t shoot, I need to get home
I’m on my knees begging please

So you’re just following orders
They just keep falling on us
How many more will it last?
Why not just take all of us?

You took all our hope away
We try to keep it down but we’re all damned to say

I can’t breathe, it’s a cellphone
Please don’t shoot, I need to get home
I’m on my knees begging please

So you’re just following orders
They just keep falling on us
How many more will it last?
Why not just take all of us?

Wе won’t take this quietly
We won’t takе this quietly
(Won’t you help me run now?)
We won’t take this quietly
We won’t take this quietly
(Won’t you help me run now?)
We won’t take this quietly
We won’t take this quietly
(Won’t you help me run now?)
We won’t take this quietly
We won’t take this quietly
(Won’t you help me run now?)

How to take a life we’ll never get them back
(Won’t you help me run now?)

I can’t breathe, it’s a cellphone
Please don’t shoot, I need to get home
I’m on my knees begging please

Bad blood
We're ripped from the tree
Bad blood in me
A simple word
Tuskegee

Bad blood bestowed on me
By a tyranny
Left to rot and die
Hear my bloody cry
Tuskegee

Now don't be long, you don't belong here anymore
Pack all your things and pray you're gone before the war
So don't be long, you don't belong here anymore

Cry, dear boy, these helping hands aren't at your aid
Fly, people, I'm telling you it's been to late
Pure evil, the doctor hides a vicious smile
Upheaval, one day we shall retaliate

Run, father, they're killing you to help themselves
Fly, mother, before long they'll want you as well

They think they had their way and will again
But in another way we will avenge
Tuskegee
Tuskegee

"I know how you're going to die"
Whispers weary mother to child
We’ve seen this all before you were born
We've seen this all before

I know how you're going to waste
It’s written in the hidden sides of your face
The cries and screams of all you have done
It tears at the seams today

While others bleed from all you have done
You tend to your own wounds

I know how you're going to die
It's written into menace and pride
The cries and screams of all you have done
It tears at the seams today

Er hat dir gesagt, dass er keine Luft bekommt
Acht Minuten lang
Ein Schrei ins Dunkle

(They just killed that man. That man is dead now. That man is dead.)
A threat to the poor, a threat to the have-nots
Kill 'em and leave 'em

(Don't shoot, it's a cellphone)
[Harmonizing]
(Don't shoot, it's a cellphone)
(Hands up, don't shoot, hands up, don't shoot)
They not out here, they don't give a damn. They not out here

Lost in the fall
(Early in the morn)
You never coming home
(You ain't never coming home)
Getting lost in the fall
(Early in the morn)
You never coming home
(You ain't never coming home)

Lost in the fall
(Early in the morn)
You never coming home
(You ain't never coming home)
Getting lost in the fall
(Early in the morn)
You never coming home
(You ain't never coming home)

We brought you up, we'll bring you down
We're riling up
We're riling up
This American carcass beckons
Don't fall asleep at the wake of a nation

The king is dead

Dies irae...

Beyond the shadow of a doubt again
The king is dead
Better look alive than disappear my friend
Dies irae
Now you're just one of a billion
The king is dead
Not worth the hassle but you can still pretend
Dies irae

Gib uns die Gabe, gib uns deine Lorbeeren
Gib uns die gäbe sofort
The king is dead

And it seems we ain't playing anymore
Pick it out, file your complaint at the door
Don't you think we grow tame over time
The king is dead, don't you get
Dies irae
This American carcass beckons
Don't fall asleep at the wake of a nation
Dies irae

This American carcass beckons
Don't fall asleep

Gib uns die Gabe, gib uns deine Lorbeeren
Gib uns die Gabe sofort
Gib uns die Gabe, gib uns deine Lorbeeren
Gib uns die Gabe sofort
The king is dead
