about

Those of you who are not from Canada, look up missing and murdered aboriginal women. This is still going on in Canada.

lyrics

MISSING AND GONE

1 gone, that’s too many
5 gone, way too many
10 gone, way too many
Too many missing and gone

20 gone, way too many
50 gone, way too many
100 gone, way too many
Too many missing and gone

Did they think you didn’t matter
That you would not be missed
They didn’t see the hearts shatter
As they put you on that list
They didn’t see them wondering
What happened to you?
Well the wind knows and the moon knows
And some son of a bitch knows too

200 gone, way too many
500 gone, way too many
1000 gone, way too many
Too many missing and gone

Somewhere there’s a desk with a pile
And a file with your face
Held back by budget cuts
or the will to act or race
Somewhere’s a detective
that knows someone’s got a clue
Wondering why the story’s on the back page
When another case comes through

1200 gone, way too many
1500, way too many
2000 gone, way too many
Too many missing and gone

How many candles up on the hill
Year after year,
How many people out there on the streets
That are not as they appear
Are the ones who did this
Thinking justice will not come
I hope they wake up screaming after dreaming
of the sound of your mother’s drum

2001, way too many
2002, way too many
2003, way too many
Too many missing and gone
2004, way too many
2005, way too many
When will it stop cause it’s way too many?
Too many missing and gone
