Let me tell you a story, I'll be quick as I can
Terrible news from the Holy Land
Pictures of children etched in my mind
Buried in the rubble, on the firing line
The Jews and the Arabs lived one and the same
A thousand years, then the Zionists came
Came like a river, came like a flood
Al Nakba was written on the wall in blood
Talk about settlers from far away
Talk about dollars from the USA
Talk about blast bombs, the bullets and the lead
The shadow of the jackboot hanging over your head
What can you do when they demolish your home?
Olive trees buried and gone
Do you dare to resist
Stand on the road with a rock in your first
In Palestine, in Palestine
They talk about peace like it's a moral obligation
There'll never be peace under occupation
Talk about talks to the beat of the drum
Seventy years [?] on
We need to talk about the friends that we endorse
The rockets and the tanks and the warships they disperse
No wonder it seems to be
An undemocratic version of democracy
In Palestine, in Palestine
Let me tell you a story, I'll be quick as I can
There's terrible news from the Holy Land
