Bring Down The Wall Lyrics

Near your picture on the mantelpiece

Lies a souvenir

But this little piece of concrete

Has a special atmosphere

Cause it reminds me of the time when you and I were in Berlin

When the people tore the wall down we watched it with a grin

But yesterday the papers

Had some quite disturbing news

They're building yet another wall

To split the Arabs from the Jews

They're calling it a safety fence to make it look so good

But the truth of the Apartheid wall is so misunderstood

So I say no, no

No to the wall

This prison will not last

This structure will fall

Apartheid is your policy but we will not let it be

So we say no, no

Forget it

We'll bring down the wall

With merciless destruction

The wall is crawling through the hills

Olive trees and orange orchards killed

By bulldozers and drills

Land is stolen from the farmers, people losing homes and plants

Endless violent occupation, will this nightmare never end?

With continued dispossession

Because of Israeli greed

Palestinians live their lives

Under a system based on creed

Because Zionist Apartheid is the engine of the game

Without respect for other peoples there will never be a change

If you're looking for security

You need not build a wall

Just recognizing Palestine

Is the essence of it all

There is no need to build a wall of concrete and steel

So stop the occupation, stick to your end of the deal
