LYRICS
I looked into my heart and I saw a darkness
A deep and ancient chill within my bones
Ever since the envy that spilled a brothers blood
Oh, We're all dyin' to throw stones
From St. Louis springs a riot
For all the kids not coming home
I see a struggle that binds us all tonight
That marches streets to atone
Mama, I'm having those bad dreams again
Where the wicked don't pay for what they done
Mama, The evil that dwells in hearts of men
No peace or justice under the sun
On a cold November's afternoon in Cleveland
A child and his cheap plastic gun
Only half past three and they left him there to bleed
Too young to learn he didn't have time to run
Mama, I'm having those bad dreams again
Where the wicked don't pay for what they done
Mama, The evil that dwells in hearts of men
No peace or justice under the sun
Father of six in New York City
Selling cigarettes out on the street
Dyin' in daylight for all of us to see
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
Mama, I'm having those bad dreams again
Where the wicked don't pay for what they done
Mama, The evil that dwells in hearts of men
No peace or justice under the sun
