declan welsh and the decadent west - walk a mile in gaza lyrics

[verse 1]
everyday
h+ll rains on gaza
the teacher and the doctor
the mother and the father
10,000 child martyrs
pray “no more, inshallah”
yet there’s silence on apartheidm
while they condemn the intifada
from the comfort of their throne
built on the bones
of those who struggle
you’ll never know
and if you could only feel
the pain of al+khalil
you’d know that it was real
(you’d know that it was real)

[chorus]
walk a mile in gaza
walk a mile in ramallah
walk a mile in nazareth
walk a mile in hebron
in the valley of jordan you’ll see
the olivе seed grow into a tree
[verse 2]
unjustified
as all resistance is in hindsight (unjustifiеd, unjustified)
how many times
do we have to see this very same thing? (how many times? this very thing?)
before we recognise
that it’s cause before effect
we raise (?) dollars (?) pounds
and lie it’s all to protect
a house that is built
on the sand of stolen land
the only peace will come from jews
and arabs hand in hand

[chorus]
walk a mile in gaza
walk a mile in ramallah
walk a mile in nazareth
walk a mile in hebron
in the valley of jordan you’ll see
the olive seed grow into a tree
walk a mile in gaza
walk a mile in ramallah
walk a mile in nazareth
walk a mile in hebron
in the valley of jordan you’ll see
the olive seed grow into a tree
[bridge]
her name was hind rajab
they took everything she had
they burned her house
she tried to escape the bombs (her name was hind rajab)
and they k!lled her family
in a bullet riddled car (they took everything she had)
she calls for an ambulance
and they k!ll the paramedics, (her name was hind rajab)
she was found dead alongside them (they took everything she had)
six years f+cking old
do you feel safe?
did she get what was coming?
is the message sent?
have you exercised your right
to self defence?
have you exercised your right
to self defence?
