Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is for Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank, Gaza
This is for the child that is searchin' for an answer
Wish I could take your tears and replace them with laughter
Long live Palestine, long live Gaza
[Verse 2]
Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank, Gaza
This is for the child that is searchin' for an answer
Wish I could take your tears and replace them with laughter
Long live Palestine
[Verse 3]
While we listen tunes made by ignorant fools
Israel blocked the UN from deliverin' food
They bring in the troops and you won't even glimpse at the news
They make money off the products that we're quick to consume
And it's not simply a question of differing views
Forget emotions, this is fact, what I spit is the truth
Makes no difference if you're a Christian or if you're a Jew
They're just people livin' in different conditions than you
They still die when you bomb their schools, mosques and hospitals
It's not because of rockets, please, God, can you stop this all
I'm not related to the strangers on the TV
But I relate 'cause those strangers coulda been me
Words could never ever explain the raw tragedy
It's not a war, they're just murderin' more rapidly
And we are automatically supportin' pure savagery
Imagine how you'd feel if this was your family
[Verse 4]
Free my people, long live Palestine
We will never let you go
Sing it with me now
Free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine
[Verse 5]
Palestine remains in my heart forever
We stand for peace, times of war we shan't surrender
Remember, it didn't start in this dark December
Every coin is a bullet if you're Mark's and Spencer
And when you're sippin' Coca-Cola
That's another pistol in the holster of them soulless soldiers
You say you know about the Zionist lobby
But you put money in their pocket when you're buyin' their coffee
Talkin' about revolution, sittin' in Starbucks
The fact is that's the kind of thinkin' I can't trust
Let alone even start to respect
Before you talk, learn the meanin' of that scarf on your neck
Forget Nestle
Obama promised Israel thirty billion over the next decade
They're trigger happy and they're crazy
Think about that when you're puttin' Huggies nappies on your baby
[Verse 6]
Free my people, long live Palestine
We will never let you go
Sing it with me now
Free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine
[Verse 7]
This is not just a war over stolen land
Why do you think little boys are throwin' stones at tanks?
And we'll never really know how many people are dead
They drop bombs on innocent girls while they sleep in their bed
Don't get offended by facts, just try and listen
Nothin' is more anti-Semitic than Zionism
So please, don't bring bad vibes when you speak to me
There's plenty of rabbi's that agree with me
It's your choice what you do with this message
Don't get it confused, I view this from a human perspective
How many more resolutions have to be violated
How many more children have to be annihilated
Israel is a terror state, they're terrorists that terrorize
I'll testify, my television televised them tellin' lies
This is not a war it is systematic genocide
But whatever they try, Palestine will never die
[Verse 8]
Free my people, long live Palestine
We will never let you go
Sing it with me now
Free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine
Free, free Palestine, free, free Palestine
[Verse 9]
This is for Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank, Gaza
This is for the child that is searchin' for an answer
Wish I could take your tears and replace them with laughter
Long live Palestine, long live Gaza
[Verse 10]
Palestine, Ramallah, West Bank, Gaza
This is for the child that is searchin' for an answer
Wish I could take your tears and replace them with laughter
Long live Palestine, long live Gaza
