Trapped in a cage of despair Greedy men sing praise for the war that they fair Karma brings back all the fish in the sea While the mighty think they are all that be Families sing of hope Being drowned by the scope Of their struggle Rockets blasting out of tune In their little occupied bubble Mad rush to the scene of blood and rubble Chorus Why do we only see our own side Scared of our neighbors that we bomb & then we go hide Fear stricken pain on the inside you Will never solve the problems the problems that you view Young soldiers carry weapons and they shoot to kill Children throwing rocks to protect their olive hills Brothers being separated by a wall of segregation While being bombarded by the non-secular nation Chorus Showing for their sisters and brothers, but Taking cover in the arms of their mothers Strong until they are weak Sucking up to powers that speak Breaking down at the feet of Allah.. While waiting for their moment of hurrah! Chorus It’s getting old this war of blame I tell you no one is gonna win this game Lives are taken Families are shaken Rocks are broken Your bombs are not tokens Salaam Shalom
