Palestine

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Refrain]
In Palestine
In Palestine

[Verse 5]
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 Nakba rolls on

[Verse 6]
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

[Refrain]
In Palestine
In Palestine

[Outro]
Let me tell you a story, I'll be quick as I can
There's terrible news from the Holy Land
