Kill The Children

There are two sides to this fight they say
In this genocide on occupied land
A war between armies is what they say
To make sure we do not understand

It’s colonialism from the very first day
Building walls and growing grief
Righteous mass murder’s here to stay
on stolen ground – what do you believe? They say –

Refr.
Kill the children because they might be
born a terrorist, raised to be the enemy
Kill the children because they might be
taking up arms to be free from the enemy

Another Nakba – Another lie
Settlers decide what’s wrong or right
Lynch mobs attack – noone’s asking why
Blame the victims for picking the fight

Cut off the water, juice and the food supply
Sowing more hate – cutting the olive tree
If you still wonder: Why do people cry
Palestine be free! – from the river to the sea! They will –

Refr.
Kill the children because they might be
born a terrorist, raised to be the enemy
Kill the children because they might be
taking up arms to be free from the enemy

Now there’s demonstrations across the nations
Forbidden, arrested – charged with a crime
Hospitals burning in the Gaza strip
Now what do you think will be a good time

To take down the flag of the Zionist state
If they want war – now it’s time to start one
On the streets of Europe and the US of A
Palestine, be free! – from the river to the sea! ‘cause they –

Refr.
Kill the children because they might be
born a terrorist, raised to be the enemy
Kill the children because they might be
taking up arms to be free from the enemy

Palestine, be free! – from the river to the sea!
