Powerful new song from the former Creedence front man. He sings about the pandemic and about racial violence by the police.

“With dread in their eyes, all the nurses are crying So much sorrow, so much dying” “Out in the street, on your neck with a knee All the people are crying your last words, 'I can’t breathe And a white judge say, ‘There been no crime here today’” Very powerful words, indeed.
