Have you ever been described as a problem?
Like you are a pesky lil' fly buzzin' around the world?
I have been.
Has your people ever been described as a problem?
Like you are a pesky lil' mosquito biting for fun?
Mine has been.

"The Palestinian Problem," they say.
Like we created it. Like we wanted it.
Like we don't realize that we go everyday
everyday, with the rest of the world
wanting to stomp us like bugs.
We know.
We are that pesky pest problem.

So they call in the pest control,
the we-don't-need-you-control.
and we were poisoned,
and we are dying.
and everyday i watch as,
my culture becomes extinct
and everyday i watch as,
the world walks by giving
zero *****. because
**we are that pesky pest problem.
