Breathe Or Burn

I step outside and my chest gets tight

Heavy particulate under the street light

Microscopic pieces of your exhaust Counting up the microscopic cost (cough

cough)

My lungs are not your dumping ground

So why does poison make your world go round?

You drive your giant truck down my block While my cell walls

are taking a shock (stop it!)

Every breath is a basic right

Why do we have to stand and fight?

Your convenience is my disease

Please stop trying to kill me with your air pollution!

(please stop!) No right to poison what we breathe It's a biological

invasion!

Asthma rates are climbing,

cardiovascular threat

Every single emitter is a technical debt

We shouldn't let you dump your trash in the sky

Just so your corporate profit margins stay high

Carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide There is nowhere left for my body

to hide It gets inside the bloodstream and into the brain A

systemic chemical chain-link of pain

(it hurts!)

Please stop

trying to kill me with your air pollution!

(please stop!)

No right to poison what we breathe It's a biological invasion!

Just let me breathe...

(just let me...) Clean air...
