_ _ _ _ You think this is easy?
Nah!
_ _ _ _ Fucking butch.
_ _ [B] _ [Bm] _ _ Oh, [N] you want to tell them about this or you want me?
_ You want me to tell them about this song or you want to tell them?
You can tell them.
This song, a song I know you all know, it's _ um_
In the body of work that we have done over the past 20 years,
it's probably one of the most important, if not the most important song that we have ever written. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
It began really organically in _ 1979.
_ _ _ _ _ _ We were both living in New York _ and they did a huge _ expose on child abuse in America.
_ _ _ _ _ And I was raised in a really small town on Long Island.
I had a really sheltered life and a really great childhood.
Wonderful parents, great family, all that kind of stuff.
I was _ stunned and horrified by what I had read. _
_ And it just_
it kind of inspired me to begin the song and then I gave it to Spider.
And when he heard the pain and the anguish in the lyrics,
he did what he thought was the _ _ most_
the best way that he could _ make that come alive with the music that he wrote,
which I think he did beautifully.
_ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ We play it every time that we play.
_ In 20 years, I think we've only missed one [N] night where we didn't play it.
_ We play it in solidarity for all the children out there at risk
_ and for all the survivors of abuse. _ _
So _ _ that you know that you have a voice and that people do listen and someone does care about you. Thank you.
