What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
one of her babies is rotting in the sun
2
and the other one was found drowned in the ocean
3
her mom and dad are in their van crushed and bloated
4
and her husband was thrown from his fishing boat
5
so please give me a break from all your complaining
6
about who was mean to you and how your stepdad is a pain
7
- i care, i swear, but i just can't take it, not today
8
all i can think about are tsunamis and earthquakes
9
everything she's ever known is gone, gone, gone
10
everyone she's ever loved is gone, gone, gone
11
the only reason she's alive is
12
she grabbed a palm frond and held on
13
and held on
14
you can call me crazy but it seems to me we could
15
have sent more than we spend in one day killing iraqis
16
to help the hundreds of thousands
17
who are injured and diseased
18
and hungry and homeless and without families
19
i'm appalled by our government's initial reaction
20
and the fact that they asked for a verbal retraction
21
from the folks who called them stingy
22
they're just covering their assets
23
well, they thank their greedy god for wiping out the lower class
24
we'd have 12/26 tattooed across our foreheads
25
if something this atrocious happened on our coast instead
26
well, a tragedy's a tragedy no matter where it happens
27
close your eyes really tight and imagine
28
that everything you've ever known is gone
29
and everything you've ever loved is gone
30
and the only reason you're alive is you were lucky
31
and you were strong enough to hold on
32
while you watched your family die
33
while you watched your family die
34
while you watched your family die
35
while you watched your family die
