Mitchell is coming back to the middle east
strike up the band,clean the streets and lets have a parade
clinton is finished in Pakistan telling others how to fight her terror wars
and they're all coming to Palestine,yippy- yippy-yahoo
i can see it all come to a head at the noble sanctuary
one and all,all and one, let us discuss peace and history
a call to prayers, load up your gun, lotsa room for everyone
but the people with the keys, how come i don't see them around?
With checkpoints and walls to keep us out and another 24/7 curfew in place
i wonder how you can have a dialogue with someone when he has his fingers locked around your throat
how can you discuss peace in your house when your not invited in and you have the key
who can say to whom can have what when its not theirs to give
Everyday, a house is built by those who don't own the land its being built on
Everyday, an ugly grey apartheid wall slithers longer and deeper on land that is not theirs
Everyday, facts on the ground increases the despair from encroachment by people who are never sated
Everyday, fingers are spreading their reach to grasp more and more land and we are running out of room
But mitchell is coming to the middle east to talk peace and happiness
what a fine day that will be with all the pomp,fine meals,drinks, laughter and cigars
but we all know,no one will say much of anything and all will leave first class, but not those who occupy and those who are occupied
nothing at all will get accomplished and they'll go home when it's over with flowers in hand and the Palestinians still under occupation
And another peace process come and gone
another road map of dead ends and promises lost
hopes and dreams quashed by the facts on the ground
Palestine; militarily occupied and slowly ethnically cleansed
