about

A song in response to the senseless treatment and suicides of indigenous youth!

lyrics

Can somebody tell me, why a child of ten
Takes her life, cause things aren’t workin’
Things aren’t workin’ what’s a child of ten know
She knows enough that this is no way to grow

So it’s a little bit ‘a gas, a little bit of a stash
A little bit ‘a this and a little bit ‘a that
And it’s goodbye, goodbye to all that sucks in this world
And that’s just about everything
This life is closing

Can somebody tell me what’s going on
She didn’t come into this world to be slapped and spat upon
To be neglected, to be hit between the eyes
She didn’t bring herself into this world or didn’t you realize

So it’s a little bit ‘a gas, a little bit of a stash
A little bit ‘a this and a little bit ‘a that
And it’s goodbye, goodbye to all that sucks in this world
And that’s just about everything
This life is closing

It’s a little bit of a lack of attention
It’s a little bit ‘a government good intentions
It’s a little bit ‘a blame it’s a little bit ‘a shame
A little ‘bit ‘a white divine intervention

Somebody tell me what the hell it’s all worth
She’s bin’ a victim ever since her birth
Somebody tell me, somebody ‘fess up
Somebody tell me ‘cause she’s given up

So it’s a little bit ‘a gas, a little bit of a stash
A little bit ‘a this and a little bit ‘a that
And it’s goodbye, goodbye to all that sucks in this world
And that’s just about everything
This life is closing

Can somebody tell me why a child of ten
Takes her life cause things aren’t workin’
