Simz brilliantly uses the blend of video gaming and real life to focus on this issue in his 2 minute video. The Video uses the first two verses and middle 8 of the ‘Poisoned town track’. The full track and words are available for live stream on Reverbnation. The words of ‘Poisoned town’ are influenced by victim impact statements from the parents of Robert Knox; another innocent person murdered on our streets.
Lyrics
Poisoned Town This dawn it brings betrayal, Its red light falls on your space, the glint of human darkness, my memories are touched by your face. How do you live with the poisoned air you breath, how do you love with those pictures on your screen? This town it gives forgiveness, forgives itself for the crime it breeds; these streets they fill your head with shit, you give the bullets to the media feed. How do you live with the poisoned air you breath, how do you love with the pictures on your screen? I want to see the dawn again, I want this day to be the same. This dawn in brings betrayal, the daylight falls on your place, the glint of human darkness, my only memories are cut by your face. How do you live with the poisoned air you breath, How do you love with those pictures on your screen This town it brings betrayal, You think these streets are sweet The glint of human darkness, But the blame it - falls at your feet, Instrumental (Virtual Cut) Not on this track How can I breath with the poisoned air you feed? how can I live, with these pictures I won’t see, this dawn it brings betrayal, the days light fall on your place the glint of human darkness, my memories are touched by your face. Inner voices Jan2010 We are moulded by our experiences however we ultimately make the decision.
