about

this song is about the disaster in the Gaza Strip and between Israel and Palestine. this song calls for Palestine’s freedom, sovereignty, and self-determination. it is a tribute to the people of Palestine.

lyrics

i am watching
those low clouds roll in
like fighter planes comin’ back from a war
with thunder on their heels.

and the blue sky landscape
sets the stage
for palestine’s freedom
absolution from papal rome.

and my heart bleeds
as the shots i’m hearin’
take the lives
of our brothers and sisters.

meanwhile, in america
the front page is talkin’ about gulliani’s viagra
and in america
1040 retroactive rebates are goin’ in the mail
and in america
man is about to extend his electric hand
over and eye, for an eye, for an eye – and it leaves the world blind
and in america
god is walking alone
and the goddess is staring at herself for hope
and in america
the xenophobic multinational media is writing hitler back into history
and another steel bullet bomb goes off in palestine
another steel bullet bomb goes off in palestine
