Dinah

lyrics by SLOW, P. Schulz

Your hearts full of anger you don’t see the reason why
Your mummy and daddy much too busy with their life
You play in the streets then games turn into fights

Now you hit the weak ones
’till blood runs
Her red hands
in the sand

Stop beating Dinah
She needs a friend just like you do
Her eyes shine like diamonds
Her life is trouble yours is too
Stop beating Dinah

You live in a town of ghosts since the world came down
Words of hope are being washed off concrete walls
You’re taught how to live by the sad and disgraced
No food for your soul in this desperate place
So much frustration you grow isolation around you

Now you hit the weak ones
till blood runs
Her red hands
in the sand

Stop beating Dinah
She needs a friend just like you do
Her eyes shine like diamonds
Her life is trouble yours is too
Stop beating Dinah

Now kids hit the weak ones
till blood runs
What have we done?
What have we become?
We need to move right now
Stand up for love
We leave our footprints in the sand

Stop beating Dinah
She needs a friend just like you do
Her eyes shine like diamonds
Her life is trouble yours is too
Stop beating Dinah
Please don’t make it worse
