Let's pretend that I
Didn't hear anything
Because terrible things
Are happening now.
They've begun to pick
people up, oh my dear
It seems the walls have ears
And benches too.
I can't speak now
I can't breathe now
Is this what they call democracy?
I can't speak now
I can't breathe now
It feels more like censorship
My friend got arrested
shortly the other day
I tried to intercede
But all in vain
The leader called me later
In a mocking voice
I denied that he
had been my friend.
I can't speak now
I can't breathe now
Is this what they call democracy?
I can't speak now
I can't breathe now
It feels more like censorship
I can't speak now
I can't breathe now
Is this what they call democracy?
I can't speak now
I can't breathe now
It feels more like censorship
