Oh! Oliver Boy what did you do?
|
But crush the hand you never shook
|
Then rob the rights of people to be free
|
Oh! Oliver Boy it's a terrible state
|
You left behind a worse off race
|
Where dignity and pride fought for their place
|
Oh! Oliver Boy now you are gone
|
And we're still here where we belong
|
Forgiveness being our strength you'll never see
|
|
Now the sun shines on this page I write
|
Though it's raining hard in Palestine
|
No lands are promised lands
|
When will we see?
|
So don't tell me that your God's my God
|
I don't think they even care at all
|
Just a pantomime behind a curtain lies deceit
|
Oh listen to me bark out loud
|
Without a voice and little growl
|
Snapping at the heels I wait
|
For something more to change
|
The more they stay the same
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Oliver Boy! It's the same militia
|
Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different
|
Oliver Boy! It's the same old story
|
Where there's blood there's death not glory
|
|
Look into these empty eyes
|
Fed upon by parasites
|
As beauty's ugly head devours its plight
|
While the borders of our hate create
|
Nothing more than each our fate
|
Trapped between our comfort and our crime
|
So stand along the graveyard wall
|
And watch the souls perform their song
|
Sing to us the dead above
|
As the mourners come to pray
|
The living stay away
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Oliver Boy! It's the same militia
|
Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different
|
Oliver Boy! It's the same old story
|
Where there's blood there's death not glory
|
Oliver Boy! We're all someone's sons
|
All of our Boys! Just put down the guns
|
Oliver Boy! You're dead but listen
|
You were wrong but we're no different
|
|
Marching to the left, everyone in step
|
Don't ask the question, why we're here with no direction
|
Marching to the right, this is not our fight
|
The curse of friction, born of man and contradiction
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
All of our Boys!
|
|
Now the sun shines on this page I write
|
Though it's raining hard in Palestine
|
