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?
Fuck all
The Nazi 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 kill 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
