Paroles Children of Jerusalem de David Rovics

Textes et Paroles de Children of Jerusalem

Did you see them prayingAnd the Army marching inAs they clubbed old womenDid you see the general grinWatch the stones flyAnd the snipers taking aimOn Shatila's birthdayIt's a calculated gameThey're gunning down the children of JerusalemDid you hear the screamingSee the horror in his faceAs he hid for coverIn a tiny, unprotected placeDid you hear his father pleading"There is a child here"Trying to protect his sonWho yelled in terror and fearThat they're gunning down the children of JerusalemDid you feel the wind blowFrom the helicopter bladesDid you smell the tear gasSee the demolition raidsDid you see the rocketsAnd the dum-dum bullets flyDid you feel the horrorTo watch one more young boy dieAs they're gunning down the children of JerusalemDid you see the roadblocksLetting nobody go pastWatch the blood flowAs time is running fastSee someone's brotherTaking his last breathSo close to the hospitalBut closer still to deathAnd they're gunning down the children of JerusalemDid you hear the fatcatsSay, "It's not what it appearsIt's an armed uprisingA realization of our fearsDo you hear them chantingThat this is their homelandThey want what's oursAnd we've got to make a standSo we're gunning down the children of Jerusalem"Some want powerAnd it seems the world's theirs to giveSome just want peaceAnd a decent place to liveSome talk of destinyAnd what their God has willedAnd a mother weepsThat her nine-year-old's been killedThey're gunning down the children of Jerusalem
