lyrics

A toy gun in his hand
Playing in the park
He‘s only 12 years old
But he’s bigger than the other boys
Got a vivid imagination
Pretends he’s gonna save the world

Then the popo come and they say
You better show me your hands
Through the window of a patrol car
Shot him down like a man
Even though the caller said the gun was probably fake
That was Tamir’s fate

His sisters on her way
But she didn’t make it there on time
She’s only 14 years old
She said, did they just take my brother's life
Is it just her imagination
Cause she can’t believe her eyes

And then the popo turn her way
And cuff her hands
Stick her in the back of the patrol car
They got blood on their hands
She closed her eyes and prayed
This wasn’t Tamir’s fate

Your silence is violence
Your silence is violence
Your silence is violence
Your silence is violent
Your silence is violence
Your silence is violence
Your silence is violence
Your silence is violent

Then the popo turn and they say
We had to shoot this man
We feared for our lives so we had no choice
They say we got blood on our hands
Had to do what we do to keep the public safe
So don’t be afraid

Your silence is violence
Your silence is violence
Your silence is violence
Your silence is violent
Your silence is violence
Your silence is violence
Your silence is violence
Your silence is violent

I’m not ready
I’m not ready
I’m not ready to say goodbye

I’m not ready
No, I’m not ready
I’m not ready, I’m not ready to say goodbye
I’m not ready
I’m not ready
No, no, I’m not ready
I’m not ready, I’m not ready to say goodbye
