axlslash Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Just wanted to get some feedback on this. Adnan, you've recieved these lyrics via PM already. Basically, I started out writing a song about the wall that the US is to initiate building between the US and Mexico, but it quickly turned into a song about a very different wall (actually multiple walls: the wall being built by Israel around the West Bank, as well as the walls of hatred being built up on both sides of the conflict).Jets scream over their homelandOn our land katyushas/the rockets (haven't decided which to use yet) fallAnd diplomats turn to stuck-up pratsAnd now they're gonna build a wallThe streets run red with blood tonightBoth sides calling 'Kill em All!'Their war brigades throw big paradesOn their own sides of the wallNow the ol' General's in a comaHis plans turned to nothing at allHis government was heaven-sentBut now it's gonna build up a wallThe high courts call it unjust and wrongBut we say "It don't mean nothing at allIt's no offence, it's just a fence!"And they'll keep on building the wallA child cries out in an ambulanceAs the traffic to the checkpoint crawlsLost in the frey, the child passes awayCaught on one side of the wallThe olive farmer's riding his tractorWhen sniper fire fallsAn innocent gunned down for tryin' to work the groundOn our side of the wallWe accuse them of preaching hatredWhile we don't teach nothin' else at allWe say that we teach equalityEven though we can build this wall"The Imam's are out to destroy us!But we shall prevail once and for all!"As our Rabbis in cheap disguiseContinue to build up the wallAnd when all the dust has settledAll will hear the Peace Train callFor none can penetrate a fence of hateAnd the writing's on the wall.
