COOL & CALM

The Wall… The Wall
That turns me to a flabbergasted fool

I’ve been to Palestine twice, and it broke my heart and made me rage.
Now we sit behind our own wall, eating a Gutbuster breakfast while thousands of traumatised people freeze on our doorstep.
Civilised.

lyrics

A river runs through here
Once in a year
Everybody stay cool and calm
Cos up at the border
A teen boy’s got a gun
Stay cool and calm
Down past the Dead Sea
There are bodies stretched out in the sun
Stay cool and calm
I’m on a bus full of soldiers
They’re playing slapsies down the front
Stay cool and calm…

Every brick is full of legend
Pilgrims file the narrow lanes
line a long line of silly little questions
Looking for a miracle ascension
Fences hold em back
Shuffle footed sheep, branded shoulder bags
This a holy land
You can tell it from the barb wire
Roped off relics
Adolescent men in car tyre roadblocks
And the wall, the Wall.
That turns me to a flabbergasted fool
In an avalanche of stories
Too heinous to believe
I see my father dragged out and
Beaten in the street
I see my cousin screaming down the barrel of a tank's gun
The tanned young soldier who is hideously handsome
Looking blank back at him
Overspilling with the times
Nineteen with a military mind
Wearing billabong and Calvin Klein
At the barracks with his child friends
He's loving and he's civil and he's kind
He's loving and he's civil and the pulls the trigger in a blind terror
and my cousin's blown into never-never
With brains spattered over the divide as we're watching
Tell us then.
What are our options?

A river runs through here
Once in a year
Everybody stay cool and calm
Cos up at the border
Everyone has got a gun
Stay cool and calm
Down past the Red Sea
They are laying bodies out in the sun
Stay cool and calm
I’m in a room full of soldiers
They’re playing truth or dare down the front
Stay cool and calm…
