The infamous Russian band “Pussy Riot” has just released their first song in English, and they've dedicated it to Eric Garner.

Titled I Can’t Breath, the song is "for Eric and for all those from Russia to America and around the globe who suffer from state terror - killed, choked, perished because of war and state sponsored violence of all kinds - for political prisoners and those on the streets fighting for change. We stand in solidarity.” 

The description of the video is best left to the band's two members.

“Pussy Riot's Masha and Nadya are being buried alive in the Russian riot police uniforms that are worn during the violent clashes of police and the protesters fighting for change in Russia. A pack of "Russian Spring" brand cigarettes is on the ground at the beginning. "Russian Spring" is a term used by those who are in love with Russia's aggressive militant actions in Ukraine, and the cigarettes are a real thing.”

The song was recorded in New York in December of 2014 at the height of the protests against police brutality.

This is not the first time “Pussy Riot” had stirred up controversy. The feminist rock band was cleared of charges of “inciting religious hatred” for performing a song protesting Vladmir Putin at the Sochi Winter Olympics.

Here are the lyrics:

He's become his death The spark of the riots

That's the way he's blessed

To stay alive.

 

It never leads to an end

It's never getting quiet

If it's unfair, my friend,

Make up your mind

 

It's getting dark in New York city

It's getting dark in New York city

It's getting tight in New York city

I need to catch my breath

 

You know this world of hate

You know this stubborn light

They're in the prayers you pray

Late at night

 

We're only half way down

Who dares to take a breath?

Some fairness might be found

From ashes of his death.

 

Eric Garner's last words (read by Richard Hell):

Get away [garbled] for what? Every time you see me, you want to mess with me. I'm tired of it. It stops today. Why would you...? Everyone standing here will tell you I didn't do nothing. I did not sell nothing. Because everytime you see me, you want to harass me. You want to stop me [garbled] Selling cigarettes. I'm minding my business, officer, I'm minding my business. Please just leave me alone. I told you the last time, please just leave me alone. please please, don't touch me. Do not touch me. [garbled] I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
