Remixed song dedicated to the good folks at the Chicago Clean Power Coalition and to 350.org’s Bill McKibben.

Close down the The Fisk Generating Station at 1111 W. Cermak in Pilsen and close down the Crawford Generating Station at 3501 S. Pulaski in Little Village before we all sound like the guy singing this song!

I Can’t Breathe

Listen to

Close the curtains hangin’ in the window
smoggy evenin’ on a Friday night
POM’s comin’ through the window
lets us know it’s just a matter of time

I can’t breathe
and they tell me I’m fine
blowing carcinogens in my mind
I can’t breathe
and they tell me I’m fine
asphyxiated lung sacs is a bad sign

See the oil staining in the sidewalk
a little blood spilled in the latest war
So I walked on up through the radon
bought pesticides at the grocery store

I can’t breathe
and they tell me I’m fine
blowing carcinogens in my mind
I can’t breathe
and they tell me I’m fine
asphyxiated lung sacs is a bad sign

Pollution’s a bummer
it poisons my room
climate is messed up
denial your tune

And I get stoned
fuckin’ hard day’s work
and you’re dying there
no more air in the world

See the bile a-waitin’ in the kitchen
tumors lookin’ like the fate for me and you
Corporate farms the food’s a-gonna kill me
toluene will give you cancer too

I can’t breathe
and they tell me I’m fine
blowing carcinogens in my mind
I can’t breathe
and they tell me I’m fine
asphyxiated lung sacs is a bad sign
