Say It Loud
Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine end the occupation now is the time it's essential for a people to govern their own affairs
and return to the land of which they're rightful heirs
living in exile is like life suspended
for people back home the misery never ended
those who resist are accused of terrorism
for refusing to accept conditions worse than a prison
to the world, much of the suffering is invisible
mountains of evidence held to be inadmissible
occupations dehumanize populations
their strongest supporters are the world's wealthy nations
Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine end the occupation now is the time it's the women and children who suffer most from occupation
their stories should be broadcast on every U.S. station
maybe then the people would push the administration
to suspend the billions we give the Israeli nation
and maybe one day mothers could breathe a sigh of relief
and their hearts begin to heal from the decades of grief
enough of roadmaps and Israel's iron fist
the immoral state of affairs must cease to exist
how do you explain a 3-year-old shot in the head
or an 80-year-old being crushed to death in his bed
bishop Tutu has said that Palestine is a replica
of what Blacks had to endure in apartheid South Africa
many see the connection, others choose to ignore it

they say no to divestment but back then they were for it
Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine
end the occupation now is the time Iraq was invaded against the will of the people
and now the same clique is trying to bring us a sequel
human rights to the rulers are just meaningless words
they don't care about the Americans and much less the Kurds
war means profit and power for the corporate elite
contractors looted Iraq and they weren't even discreet
just like pimps in the night and the soldiers their hookers
along with perverted patriots and the curious onlookers
Falluja was no mistake nor Abu Ghraib and Haditha
human life gets no respect recall the song by Aretha
if it were animals being abused in a cage
the mainstream media by now would have the world in a rage
but it's only human mothers and daughters
so the corporate networks make sure nobody bothers
images of the carnage are considered in poor taste
the masses are blind as blood rivers flood to the waist
Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine
end the occupation now is the time
