Verse 1
- While we listen to tunes, made by ignorant fools
- Israel blocked the UN from delivering food
- They'll bring in the troops and you won't even glimpse at the news
- They make money of the products that we are quick to consume
- It's not simply a question of differing views
- Forget emotions, this is fact, what I spit is the truth
- Makes no difference if you're a Christian or if you're a Jew
- They are just people living in different conditions to you
- They still die when you bomb their schools, mosques and hospitals
- It is not because of rockets, please god can you stop it all
- I'm not related to the strangers on the TV
- But I relate because those strangers could have been me
- Words can never ever explain the raw tragedy
- It's not a war they're just murdering more rapidly
- We are automatically supporting pure savagery
- Imagine how you'd feel if this was your family
Hook
- Free my people, long live Palestine
- We will never let you go
- Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
- Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
- Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
- Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
Verse 2
- Palestine remains in my heart forever
- We stand for peace, in times of war we shan't surrender
- Remember, it didn't start in that dark December
- Every coin is a bullet, if you're Mark's and Spencer
- And when you're sipping Coca-Cola
- That's another pistol in the holster of the soulless soldiers
- You say you know about the Zionist lobby
- But you put money in their pocket when you're buying their coffee
- Talking about revolution, sitting in Starbucks
- The fact is that's the type of thinking I can't trust
- Let alone even start to respect
- Before you talk learn the meaning of that scarf on your neck
- Forget Nestlé
- Obama promised Israel 30 billion over the next decade
- They're trigger happy and they're crazy
- Think about that when you're putting Huggies nappies on your baby
Hook
- Free my people, long live Palestine
- We will never let you go
- Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
- Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
- Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
- Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
Verse 3
- This is not just a war over stolen land
- Why do you think little boys are throwing stones at tanks?
- We will never really know how many people are dead
- They drop bombs on innocent girls while they sleep in their beds
- Don't get offended by facts, just try and listen
- Nothing is more anti-Semitic than Zionism
- So please don't bring bad vibes when you speak to me
- I know there's plenty of Rabbi's that agree with me
- It's your choice what you do with this message
- Don't get it confused; I view this from a truly human perspective
- How many more resolutions have to be violated
- How many more children have to be annihilated
- Israel is a terror state, there terrorists that terrorize
- I testify, my television televised them telling lies
- This is not a war, it is systematic genocide
- But whatever they try, Palestine will never die
Hook
- Free my people, long live Palestine
- We will never let you go
- Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
- Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
- Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
- Free Free Palestine, Free Free Palestine
