Lyrics

[00:00.00] 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
