lyrics

Group of rockers fled here from Iran
Start a life in Brooklyn was the plan
Said they'd call themselves The Yellow Dogs
But a murder-suicide had called it off

Raefe Ahkbar involved in The Free Keys
Killed two dogs then made himself bleed
A petty conflict sparked insanity
And only one musician was left free

But will you remember The Yellow Dogs?
And how they suddenly got shot
Will they bring you to pray?
Just hear their extended play
But please remember The Yellow Dogs

Sourosh Farazmand strikes the strings no more
His brother Arash's drumsticks hit the floor
Now there is only one more of The Yellow Dogs
Their booking agent still completely shocked

The author Ali Eskandarian
And Sot from an Iran art collective
Were victims of the the shooter's crazy crime
It's sad to see this happen at this time

But will you remember The Yellow Dogs?
And how they suddenly got shot
Will they bring you to pray?
Just hear their extended play
But please remember The Yellow Dogs

In '94 Kurt Cobain shot himself
In theory he should've shot someone else
But not one of The Yellow Dogs
They all should still be 'round to walk

In '70 Jim Hendrix puked to death
Hurled over Elvis Presley's white toilet
But both of them died doing something dumb
Mercy for those brothers from Iran

But will you remember The Yellow Dogs?
And how they suddenly got shot
Will they bring you to pray?
Just hear their extended play
But please remember The Yellow Dogs
