Zan Zendegi Azadi Lyrics by URF Tone

2023

I can feel my story collide with history
Or shall I say hers…
Verse 1:
As we begin, let's make sure you're forewarned
This the point of view of a kid who was foreign born
In war-torn Iran, who's finally now exposed for killing women
'Cause their wardrobe is worn wrong
I was seven months young when we fled the country
The only home Mom had ever known was getting ugly
Steady getting bombed by Saddam
Who played hitman for the US, who wanted oil costs next to nothing
But, Mom could deal with the evеnings in the bunkers
But not the rеvolution and the evil it had ushered
A new regime scheming on the people that it governed
Demons who would cite religious reason for destruction, when
Radicals set the tempo
A woman’s hair strand of hair showing, means she’s rebelling against the dress code
Put in place by a tyrannical ayatollah
Who told her to get in line, or be a tally on the death toll, but
Same regime so concerned with women's fashion
Kicked the country's rich legacy up in a trash bin
Educated people are starving and need jobs
As they kill over hijabs, let's pause to get this chant in
Hook:
Zan, Zandegi, Azadi
This is for the warriors fighting to live free
Free from oppression, free from tyranny
They won’t shut us down, till we let freedom ring
Zan, Zandegi, Azadi (Women, Life, Freedom)
Zan, Zandegi, Azadi (Women, Life, Freedom)
Zan, Zandegi, Azadi
This is for the warriors fighting to live free
Verse 2:
The women's plight, did ignite
My mom's need to pursue her God-given right
Of living freely, so she, me and my brother
Set off to California, but Baba missed the flight
Uprooting caused my family's undoing
Put us in a lane immigrants often must move in
Language nor income weren't uh, fluent
At times, could feel unwelcome, but the truth is...
Man, it's hell on the other side
Look at Jina's story: killed, 'cause her hair wasn't covered right?
At the Tehran train station
She arrived to visit family and aggressively was smothered by
The so-called "morality police"
A group made up of savages and beasts
Said her hair was wrapped loose, now family's in agony and grief
And the people all rally in the streets, shouting out…
Hook:
Zan, Zandegi, Azadi
This is for the warriors fighting to live free
Free from oppression, free from tyranny
They won’t shut us down, till we let freedom ring
Zan, Zandegi, Azadi (Women, Life, Freedom)
Zan, Zandegi, Azadi (Women, Life, Freedom)
Zan, Zandegi, Azadi
This is for the warriors fighting to live free
Verse 3:
The wrongful death of young Jina sparked an uprising
Unsurprisingly, the military responded, guns firing
On citizens armed with voice, and nothing else
Kicking dust, 'cause change won't emerge from silence, but
While a closed mouth’s unfed, these streets run red
‘Cause diabolical rulers don't dialog
Demonstrating really means live free or die hard
Let us reminisce over all the life lost, my God
It's well in the hundreds
Plus, 10s of thousands in jail for disrupting
The peace of system that prefers to oppress in peace
May it die soon, and don't rest in peace, as we all sing...
Hook:
Zan, Zandegi, Azadi
This is for the warriors fighting to live free
Free from oppression, free from tyranny
They won’t shut us down, till we let freedom ring
Zan, Zandegi, Azadi (Women, Life, Freedom)
Zan, Zandegi, Azadi (Women, Life, Freedom)
Zan, Zandegi, Azadi
This is for the warriors fighting to live free
