Lyrics
The girl from Tel-aviv who wouldn't kneel
The girl from Tel-aviv who wouldn't kneel
nor for husband, dictator, tyrant or king
Humble homes
with motto's on the walls
symbols and signs
in framed designs
sure to keep the poor poor
in fear of a god who hadn't saved them after all
And all of my friends are in trouble
they're sorry, they're sick and they know
all of my friends are in trouble
there's no need to go into that now
The girl from Tel-aviv who wouldn't kneel
the girl from Tel-aviv who wouldn't kneel
nor for husband, dictator, tyrant or king
The sorrow
my countenance shows
is hardly worth mentioning now
'Impartial application of law'
(in other words: legalized torture)
And all of my friends are in trouble
they're sorry, they're sick and they know
all of my friends are in trouble
but there's no need to go into that now
Of prince's and king's
and their costly parade
blitz them all back to the Stone Age
the American way
displayed proudly
is to show lots of teeth
and talk loudly
And the land weeps oil
the land weeps oil
what do you think all these armies are for?
it's just because the land weeps oil
And the land weeps oil
the land weeps oil
what do you think all these conflicts are for?
it's just because the land weeps oil.
