Lyrics

Semitones and buried bones
King Suleiman says to be in the taxi by 4
We barter for starters
They pray for the martyrs
Ma maw wishes I’d give her a call
The walls that they're building
The calmness of children
Gassed as they were kicking a ball
What’s it going to take this time
What’s it going to take to change your mind
When everything is cosy and fine
What’s it going to take to change your mind
My friend Sa’id
Covered his heid
With a balaclava
Cause soldiers remember a face
Ten years since his cousin
One in twenty-dozen
Was ended before he had begun
And that’s why we stand here
Me trembling in fear
Forty-five degrees in the sun
What’s it going to take this time
What’s it going to take to change your mind
When everything is cosy and fine
What’s it going to take to change your mind
What’s it going to take to change your mind
And after the melee
They sheltered and fed me
And then they sent us on our way
Often I wonder if under the sun there
Whether they are marching today
What’s it going to take this time
What’s it going to take to change your mind
When everything is cosy and fine
What’s it going to take to change your mind
What’s it going to take to change your mind
