quiet
do you hear that
complicity and corruption
secret police security details
do you quite hear that
bribes and bailouts
war crimes and walls
hussars and hooah
i hear it
"we don't care make it a world war
we don't care make it a world war"
british war planes american bombs
water treatment plants and schools
"we don't care make it a world war
we don't care make it a world war"
a plume of smoke against cliffs and wadis
sanaa naked and nestled in the plains
"we don't care make it a world war
we don't care make it a world war"
here is defiance here is "no"
here are victors in streets
on fridays every friday
"we don't care make it a world war
we don't care make it a world war"
what we would not say they said
what we would not risk they risked
rejoicing at every bomb dropped on them
means not a bomb dropped on palestine
”we don't care make it a world war
we don't care make it a world war"
subjugated
"we don't care make it a world war
we don't care make it a world war"
obliterated
"we don't care make it a world war
we don't care make it a world war"
liberated
