[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
