Hands up (Don't shoot) I'm walking here
Hands up (Don't shoot) I'm jogging here
Hands up (Don't shoot) I live here
I'm reaching for my ID, sir
Hands up (Don't shoot) He made a move
Hands up (Don't shoot) He threatened me
Hands up (Don't shoot) 10-89
I was afraid for my blue life
We will live our lives in fear
Until every last cop disappears
Please officer I can't breathe
Please officer I can't breathe
Tell my mom I love her
Tell my mom I love her
Tell my mom I love her
We kneel (They shoot) "You hate the flag"
We march (They shoot) Their teargas
We fight (They shoot) From armored vans
But we will mount our own defense
We kneel (They shoot) So we attack
We march (They shoot) Now we shoot back
We fight (They shoot) So this is war
We won't ask nicely anymore
We wont live our lives in fear
We'll make every last cop disappear
Hey officer can you breathe?
Hey officer can you breathe?

Hands up Don't shoot
I can't breathe

Dark and seething post-punk from Cincinnati that's appealingly janky enough to make a tired genre feel fresh and urgent. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 31, 2023
