12/26-Kimya Dawson
One of her babies is rotting in the sun
And the other one was
Found drowned in the ocean
Her mom and dad are in
Their van crushed and bloated
And her husband was thrown
From his fishing boat
So please give me a break
From all your complaining
About who was mean to you
And how your stepdad is a pain
I care i swear
But i just can't take it not today
All i can think about are
Tsunamis and earthquakes
Everything she's ever
Known is gone gone gone
Everyone she's ever
Loved is gone gone gone
The only reason she's alive is
She grabbed a palm frond and held on
And held on
You can call me crazy
But it seems to me we could
Have sent more than we spend
In one day killing iraqis
To help the hundreds of thousands
Who are injured and diseased
And hungry and homeless and without families
I'm appalled
By our government's initial reaction
And the fact that they asked
For a verbal retraction
From the folks who called them stingy
They're just covering their assets
Well they thank their greedy god
For wiping out the lower class
Everything she's ever known is gone gone gone
Everyone she's ever loved is gone gone gone
The only reason she's alive is
She grabbed a palm frond and held on
And held on
One of her babies is rotting in the sun
And the other one was found drowned in the ocean
Her mom and dad are in their
Van crushed and bloated
And her husband was thrown
From his fishing boat
We'd have 12/26tattooed
Across our foreheads
If something this atrocious happened
On our coast instead
Well a tragedy's a tragedy
No matter where it happens
Close your eyes really tight and imagine
That everything you've ever known is gone
And everything you've ever loved is gone
And the only reason
You're alive is you were lucky
And you were strong enough to hold on
While you watched your family die
While you watched your family die
While you watched your family die
While you watched your family die
Everything she's ever known is gone gone gone
Everyone she's ever loved is gone gone gone
The only reason she's alive is
She grabbed a palm frond and held on
And held on
