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 While they thank their greedy god for wiping out the lower class and 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 12/26 tattoed 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 now and try to imagine That everything you've ever known is gone And everyone 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
