Lyrics

Stop the Bleeding

[Verse 1]

The endless scroll of human tragedy

I swipe along as the days go by

Another brother murdered out in the streets

I connect to the shame, we don’t know what it’s like

Born lucky cause the color of skin

America your heart is caving in

Somehow I thought this was the land of the free

Where is our humanity?

Our humanity

[Chorus]

Beating after beating

Throat choked under knee

Help me please

Because I can’t breathe

Just stop the bleeding

Body after body

Piled up in the streets

Stand and fight

Not another life

Just stop the bleeding

[Verse 2]

And some will claim it’s a conspiracy

The fake news out to undermine

When riots fight off white supremacy

Never given a choice, so they’re drawing a line

I stare and look out at the world in disgust

These men are dying over nothing just

Good men stand up and show your bravery

For a lost democracy

Our democracy

[Chorus]

Beating after beating

Throat choked under knee

Help me please

Because I can’t breathe

Just stop the bleeding

Body after body

Piled up in the streets

Stand and fight

Not another life

Just stop the bleeding

[Break]

Our strife

Our struggle

Fight through these open wounds

[Pre-Chorus]

Beating after beating

Throat choked under knee

[Chorus]

Beating after beating

Throat choked under knee

Help me please

Because I can’t breathe

Just stop the bleeding

Body after body

Piled up in the streets

Stand and fight

Not another life

Just stop the bleeding now

The bleeding now!

[Outro]

Our strife

Our struggle

Fight through these open wounds
