lyrics

LYRICS:
There was a Gaza man on my TV
He looked just a little bit like me
And screamed the way that I would scream
As the hospital shook from the bombs in the streets
He held a broken boy up in his arms
About the age of my only son
And my body rang with the alarm
that he could have been me

There were a bunch of kids at a border kibbutz
When the door blew open, and the building shook
Some were taken away, and some were killed where they stood
None will ever be the same again
Just when you think you can't take anymore
The sky opens up, and blood starts to pour
Those kids scattered out on the dirty floor
They could have been mine,
and they could have been yours

You think you don’t have what it takes to kill
Well listen up, buddy cuz you probably will
If they took everyone you love and left you still
Dehumanized
The sacrifice of children at home and abroad
In the name of the same invisible god
From the remote-controlled drone to the firing squad
In front of me

And it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
