Okay, hello!
00:04.5
00:06.5
My name is Amanda Palmer
00:06.6
00:08.7
and this is my magical ukulele,
00:08.8
00:11.8
and I'm coming to you from our home
00:11.9
00:13.2
in beautiful Woodstock, New York
00:13.3
00:16.0
where it is very hot outside.
00:16.3
00:17.9
And I just wrote this song yesterday,
00:18.0
00:21.3
and I'm really excited and proud to play it for you.
00:21.6
00:23.7
And also, it's got a sing-along part
00:23.8
00:27.0
and I thought it would be really fun if I did a sing-along.
00:27.1
00:30.0
Even though it's over the internet, I know you're probably watching this
00:30.1
00:32.6
on your phone, or somewhere on a laptop,
00:32.7
00:36.7
or you might be sitting in a train platform on your way to work,
00:36.8
00:38.8
or in the privacy of your own kitchen,
00:38.9
00:40.1
but let's try to do it!
00:40.2
00:43.8
The sing-along part is really easy, I'm gonna teach it to you:
00:43.9
00:48.7
When I go: "Everybody knows somebody",
00:48.8
00:52.5
you go (whispers):"Everybody knows somebody". Alright? Let's try it.
00:52.6
00:54.9
(sings) Everybody knows somebody
00:55.0
00:57.1
(whispers) Everybody knows somebody
00:57.2
00:59.5
(sings) Everybody knows somebody
00:59.6
01:01.5
(whispers) Everybody knows somebody. You got it!
01:01.6
01:06.4
They say this land gets more and more divided
01:06.5
01:10.6
If I may I think that's not the only side,
01:10.7
01:12.5
why, just today
01:12.6
01:17.4
I read the late edition paper and, no way,
01:17.5
01:22.3
I saw the North and South united like the blood
01:22.4
01:26.6
that flows through every color body, it's enough
01:26.7
01:31.2
We're finally all at the same party looking down
01:31.3
01:34.4
It may not be the thing we wanted but there's
01:34.5
01:38.5
finally enough to go around
01:38.6
01:42.6
From New York to California
01:42.7
01:47.2
From Detroit down to the border
01:47.3
01:51.7
We all have more in common now than we do not
01:51.9
01:54.7
Cause everybody knows somebody
01:54.8
01:56.8
(whispers) Everybody knows somebody
01:56.9
01:59.4
Everybody knows somebody
01:59.5
02:01.5
(whispers) Everybody knows somebody
02:01.6
02:06.4
Everybody knows somebody who got shot
02:08.4
02:13.1
They say there's trouble brewing in the union,
02:15.0
02:19.7
Look, human beings being human, laying blame
02:19.8
02:24.1
wherever there is room to lay, it's all the same
02:24.2
02:26.6
You want the red pill or the blue one
02:26.7
02:29.8
but it's all about to change,
02:29.9
02:33.1
something is getting us aboard
02:33.2
02:36.6
Yes, that's progress, one big funeral for all
02:36.7
02:40.1
the people that we used to call
02:40.2
02:45.0
before they risked their lives to head out to the mosque or to the mall
02:45.1
02:49.5
From New York to California
02:49.6
02:54.0
From Detroit down to the border
02:54.1
02:58.5
We all have more in common now than we do not
02:58.6
03:01.2
Cause everybody knows somebody
03:01.3
03:03.5
(whispers) Everybody knows somebody
03:03.6
03:06.1
Everybody knows somebody
03:06.2
03:07.9
(whispers) Everybody knows somebody
03:08.0
03:13.1
Everybody knows somebody who got shot
03:15.0
03:19.3
From the mountain rivers to the public squares
03:19.4
03:24.2
everybody's getting really good at sending thoughts and prayers
03:24.3
03:28.5
From the Heart of Dixie up to Oregon
03:28.6
03:31.5
we can can all rest assured there'll be a slaughter
03:31.6
03:33.1
somewhere by the dawn
03:33.2
03:37.6
And in the nightclubs all the dancers in the dark
03:37.7
03:42.5
well,they can twist the night away with extra fear inside their hearts
03:42.6
03:47.0
From New England to Alaska every child
03:47.1
03:52.2
will know exactly what to do now when a shooter opens fire
03:52.3
03:56.8
From New York to California
03:56.9
04:01.2
From Detroit down to the border
04:01.3
04:05.8
We all have more in common now than we do not
04:05.9
04:08.8
Cause everybody knows somebody
04:08.9
04:11.2
(whispers) Everybody knows somebody
04:11.3
04:13.7
Everybody knows somebody
04:13.8
04:15.8
(whispers) Everybody knows somebody
04:15.9
04:18.6
Everybody knows somebody
04:18.7
04:19.9
(whispers) Everybody knows somebody
04:20.4
04:23.5
This land is your land
04:23.6
04:26.5
This land is my land
04:26.6
04:29.8
This land is our land
04:29.9
04:33.5
Until it's not
04:35.5
04:38.5
Yeah, everybody knows somebody
04:38.6
04:41.4
(whispers) Everybody knows somebody
04:41.5
04:44.1
Everybody knows somebody
04:44.3
04:46.5
(whispers) Everybody knows somebody
04:46.6
04:54.8
Everybody knows somebody until everybody's
05:00.2
05:03.6
Let's get it together, America, this is getting..
05:03.7
05:08.5
ridiculous. I love you all so much,
