lyrics

Did you go for a walk?
Get to the end of your block?
Did you drive your car?
Did you get that far?

Or was someone one there?
Did you happen to strike their fear?
Shit, now you’re in the wrong place
Shit, now you’re on your face

And you can’t breathe
And you can’t breathe
And you can’t breathe
And you can’t breathe

The boot weighs a thousand pounds
No amount of reason can drown it out
No attempt to sing a sunday song
Can erase a footprint so terribly wrong

And you can’t breathe
And you can’t breathe
And I am watching you
And you can’t breathe
