12/26-Kimya Dawson |
| [00:01.560] |
One of her babies is rotting in the sun |
| [00:03.378] |
And the other one was |
| [00:04.752] |
Found drowned in the ocean |
| [00:06.62] |
Her mom and dad are in |
| [00:07.255] |
Their van crushed and bloated |
| [00:09.60] |
And her husband was thrown |
| [00:10.505] |
From his fishing boat |
| [00:11.817] |
So please give me a break |
| [00:13.562] |
From all your complaining |
| [00:15.144] |
About who was mean to you |
| [00:16.576] |
And how your stepdad is a pain |
| [00:18.14] |
I care i swear |
| [00:19.329] |
But i just can't take it not today |
| [00:21.572] |
All i can think about are |
| [00:22.888] |
Tsunamis and earthquakes |
| [00:24.258] |
Everything she's ever |
| [00:26.571] |
Known is gone gone gone |
| [00:30.576] |
Everyone she's ever |
| [00:32.638] |
Loved is gone gone gone |
| [00:36.447] |
The only reason she's alive is |
| [00:39.572] |
She grabbed a palm frond and held on |
| [00:48.320] |
And held on |
| [00:54.883] |
You can call me crazy |
| [00:56.71] |
But it seems to me we could |
| [00:57.640] |
Have sent more than we spend |
| [00:59.13] |
In one day killing iraqis |
| [01:00.320] |
To help the hundreds of thousands |
| [01:01.825] |
Who are injured and diseased |
| [01:03.634] |
And hungry and homeless and without families |
| [01:06.320] |
I'm appalled |
| [01:07.196] |
By our government's initial reaction |
| [01:09.388] |
And the fact that they asked |
| [01:11.11] |
For a verbal retraction |
| [01:12.201] |
From the folks who called them stingy |
| [01:14.76] |
They're just covering their assets |
| [01:15.508] |
Well they thank their greedy god |
| [01:17.803] |
For wiping out the lower class |
| [01:19.468] |
Everything she's ever known is gone gone gone |
| [01:24.898] |
Everyone she's ever loved is gone gone gone |
| [01:31.515] |
The only reason she's alive is |
| [01:33.957] |
She grabbed a palm frond and held on |
| [01:42.955] |
And held on |
| [01:49.671] |
One of her babies is rotting in the sun |
| [01:52.114] |
And the other one was found drowned in the ocean |
| [01:55.770] |
Her mom and dad are in their |
| [01:57.25] |
Van crushed and bloated |
| [01:58.420] |
And her husband was thrown |
| [01:59.792] |
From his fishing boat |
| [02:01.357] |
We'd have 12/26tattooed |
| [02:03.352] |
Across our foreheads |
| [02:04.414] |
If something this atrocious happened |
| [02:06.232] |
On our coast instead |
| [02:07.417] |
Well a tragedy's a tragedy |
| [02:08.663] |
No matter where it happens |
| [02:10.357] |
Close your eyes really tight and imagine |
| [02:13.44] |
That everything you've ever known is gone |
| [02:20.235] |
And everything you've ever loved is gone |
| [02:26.103] |
And the only reason |
| [02:27.733] |
You're alive is you were lucky |
| [02:30.478] |
And you were strong enough to hold on |
| [02:37.39] |
While you watched your family die |
| [02:43.733] |
While you watched your family die |
| [02:49.611] |
While you watched your family die |
| [02:55.736] |
While you watched your family die |
| [03:04.249] |
Everything she's ever known is gone gone gone |
| [03:10.249] |
Everyone she's ever loved is gone gone gone |
| [03:16.688] |
The only reason she's alive is |
| [03:19.939] |
She grabbed a palm frond and held on |
| [03:29.01] |
And held on |
