In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, in your eyes
I can see
Your unfinished story.
I realize, realize
Realize, realize
That somebody
Didn't want your voice free.
It's going to cost us
This false democracy
They will try and crush us
They cannot hush us
Your words, your legacy
Too many of us!
Go find the ditch
Control that itch
Let's kill the bitch
Erase the hitch
The girl is a glitch!
Don't let her speak
She will make it churn
Can let it leak
She'll have to burn
That's how they'll learn!
That's how they'll learn!
That's how they'll learn!
In your eyes, in your eyes
In your eyes, in your eyes
I can see
Your unfinished story.
No dissent, can't lement
Playing God, think we're fools
They are on a spree
We can read
They are changing history
Like vultures circling
Though you are dead and gone
And they will milk it
Misuse your value
A 21 gun salute?
You'd never want it!
Lock up the gates
Annihilate
Disseminate
Nurture the hate
Regurgitate!
Here's bullet 1-2-3-4-5 !
Another 2
Gotchya, 3rd eye!
Bam, Bam, goodbye!
Bam, Bam, goodbye!
Bam, Bam, goodbye!
Bam, Bam, goodbye!
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Before they see
What we see
GAURI, you were born free.
They'll hypnotise, hypnotise
Hypnotise, hypnotise
Neutralise liberty
GAURI, you were born free
GAURI, you were born free.
You lived and died free
GAURI, you were born free
You lived and died free
GAURI, you were born free
You lived and died free
GAURI, you were born free!
Eenie meenie mynee mo
Catch the traitor by the toe
She went too far
She has to go
Eenie meenie mynee mo
Eenie meenie mynee mo
Satan's lover, bovine foe
If she cries don't let her go
Heathens burn in hell, you know
Eenie meenie mynee male
Mind you bussiness, cover your trail
If they spot you, you will fail
Eenie meenie mynee male
Eenie meenie mynee men
Find your voice, pick up your pen!
If they hate what you've written
They'll gun you down again again!
They'll gun you down again again!
They'll gun you down again again!
They'll gun you down again again!...
In your eyes, in your eyes
I can see
Your unfinished story.
I realize, realize
Realize, realize

Parole e musica di Arati Rao-Shetty, cantante e compositrice di Bangalore
Una canzone dedicata a Gauri Lankesh (1962-2017), giornalista di Bangalore, apertamente critica verso la destra indù che accusava di non praticare una religione ma un sistema gerarchico fondato sulle caste, volto all'oppressione delle minoranze e delle donne e contrario alla libertà di pensiero e di stampa. Nel 2016 Gauri Lankesh subì un processo ed una campagna di diffamazione proprio a causa di un articolo in cui denunciava maneggi e corruzione tra i vertici locali del Partito del Popolo Indiano, induista e nazionalista.
Il 5 settembre 2017, mentre rincasava, Gauri Lankesh fu uccisa da tre uomini a colpi di pistola.
Nel 2018 tre uomini sono stati arrestati con l'accusa di essere gli esecutori dell'omicidio, ma le indagini sono ancora in corso.
Propongo questa canzone in occasione della Giornata mondiale della libertà di stampa che si celebra ogni 3 maggio.
