[Intro]
Oh, no, no, no
(Everyone knows)
Not in the throws

[Verse 1]
Well, I can’t spell
(Not all that well)
Words that sound the same
(But a different game)

[Chorus]
Oh, no, no, no
(Everyone knows)
Not in the throws
Oh, whoa, whoa, woe
(The saying goes)
… in the throes

[Bridge]
This is a crisis
The crime of all time

[Verse 2]
I mean what the hell
(No, I can’t spell)
Words that sound the same
(But a different name)

[Chorus]
Oh, no, no, no
(Everyone knows)
Not in the throws
Oh, whoa, whoa, woe
(The saying goes)
… in the throes

[Bridge]
This is a crisis
The crime of all time

[Outro]
Oh, no, no, no
(Everyone knows)
Not in the throws
Oh, whoa, whoa, woe
(The saying goes)
… in the throes

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was inspired by a Palestinian civil defense ambulance driver. During the cease fire, he said he had been running on adrenaline and ash for the last two years during the genocide in Gaza.

A Palestinian Civil Defense ambulance driver is a first responder who provides emergency and rescue services, working in coordination with other humanitarian organizations like the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) to transport the wounded and sick, often under extremely dangerous conditions in conflict zones like Gaza and the West Bank.

ABOUT THE SONG
“In the throes” means to be in the middle of a difficult or intense situation, suggesting a struggle, crisis, or period of great upheaval. The word “throes” originally referred to painful pangs or spasms and is almost always used in the plural to describe a state of suffering, but its usage has expanded to cover any intense or challenging experience.

• Difficult or painful situations: This is the most common meaning, such as being “in the throes of a migraine” or “in the throes of despair”.
• Challenging processes: It can also describe being deeply immersed in a difficult but not necessarily painful process, like moving offices or undergoing economic reform.
• Intense passion: The phrase can sometimes describe an intense emotional or even physical experience, such as being “in the throes of passion”.

• Incorrect spelling: It’s important to note that this is often confused with “in the throws,” which refers to the act of throwing something, like a ball.
