Original Sinn

Dunia Best and Aram Sinnreich of Dubistry wrote and recorded this song in July, 2016. Making and sharing this song is our only means of preserving sanity, love and dignity in the face of America's (and the world's) tragic turn towards hatred and fear. The song was recorded at the Institute for Popular Music in Bochum, Germany, with the help and contributions of Hans Nieswandt, Arno Kro, Fab Horn, and many others including our own children. Please share widely and listen often. We are greater together than we are alone. LYRICS Everybody screams At their laptops and TVs But policeman ears, they hear no sound Even when the father pleads For his children on his knees They don't see a man, they just see brown Then they shoot him in the chest And the shoot him in the legs And they shoot him in the back And they hear the voices beg "Please don't kill my father Let him live, let him live! Please don't kill my father He has so much to give!" Everybody screams At their laptops and TVs But policeman ears, they hear no sound Even when the daughter pleads She did nothing on her knees They don't see a girl they just see brown Then they beat her on the chest And they beat her on the legs And they beat her on the head And they hear the voices say "Please don't kill our daughter Let her live, let her live! Please don't kill our daughter She has so much to give!" Everyone believes What's on their laptops and TVs And policeman ears they hear no sound Even when our voices plead We did nothing on our knees They don't hear a world, they just hear brown Then they beat us on the chest And they beat us on the legs And they beat us on the head And they hear our voices say "Please don't kill our mother Let us live, let us live! Please don't kill our mother We have so much to give!" Don't kill our mothers and Fathers and Sisters and Brothers Cousins, aunts, uncles Grandfathers and 'mothers Don't kill our neighbors and Lovers and Millions of others Let us live Let us live #sayhisname #letuslive #sayhername #letuslive #getwoke #letuslive #staywoke #letuslive #blacklivesmatter #letuslive #sniperfire #letuslive #letuslive
