The boy in the stripped pyjamas The experiment of a Jew and Muslim Schindler's list, the pianist The blood on God's land Of innocence, of Mother, daughter, son and Father We have learned nothing We play it on the cinema screen We read it in the books Yet? We have learned nothing I am tired, tired of the pain.. Of the bloodshed, of the abuses Of the wars, murders, rapes and doom You look to history What do you find? Holocaust, slavery, war, witch hunts, inquisition The hangman's noose The stake, the torture chamber The gas chamber   They say "Its different now, we're civilised" But you know in your heart of hearts It is not... 70 years ago they thought they were civilised 200 years ago they thought they were civilised 600 years ago they thought they were civilised This land is scorched This land is tainted Of a million souls Christian, black, Jew, Muslim, human And what have we learned? **** all The **** salute, The KKK The Israeli fear, the trauma The stolen Land, Standing rock! Gaze strip, stripped of rights Syria weeps! Towers struck Virginity ripped, solider beheaded Daughter's sold, Son's beaten Trump has power Nukes galore! The Madonna burying her son! We seek the scapegoat Once twas women, twas Jew Now its the women in a veil My friend! I will never force the hatred of the past into this present I will walk side by side with her Take her to the temple mount! The wailing wall! Hold her hand and cry for Abraham and Muhammad to hear We are all children of God! Blood will not make the soil fertile God forgive them I see today in the chosen people's nation The replay of history A family torn from their beds Homeless in death At the mercy of a government that hates them And soldiers that will **** them... These people of God Stricken by prejudiced, tormented by centuries Will become the monsters, they so fear I have no birthright to that land No land baptised in blood is any land of mine! Nor is it the land of my ancestors 6 million Jews did not die So we may become the oppressors To march in two by two To tear away the Mother from her children! No, no, no I have no birthright, I gladly give it up Give it back to the family, or sell it for charity That land is no ones It is Gods! And look what you've done! Oil in the ocean, gases in the sky! Death of the splendid life What have we done? What have we learned... Nothing... God forgive them They know not what they do

God forgive them...
