Stop The Bleeding - Machine Head, Jesse Leach

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

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

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

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

Our strife

Our struggle

Fight through these open wounds

Beating after beating

Throat choked under knee

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!

Our strife

Our struggle

Fight through these open wounds
