”We all let it happen again and again” - SHARE ! If you care...

My songs about Gaza:

“We all that has happen again and again”.

I got an email from the Palestinian embassy in Dublin.
The ambassador wants to meet me to thank me personally for writing the song. Which is obviously huge for me.

Just to let you know.
Any money the song generates will go 100% to UNICEF.

Lyrics:
Come sisters and brothers and put down your phones.
A whole people are hungry, can’t you hear the groans?
And they’re filling their world up with bullets and drones.
And Israel’s answers are all just straw-men.
They take all their meat, barely leave them the bones
And we all let it happen again and again.

The People of Gaza are all blown to bits
By the IDF soldiers, despicable shits.
Some would say butchers, wear it if it fits,
For your country was born down the barrel of a Bren.
After fifty-five thousand could you not call it quits?
And we all let it happen again and again.

And we in the West, we have sent them our funds,
And our missiles and planes and our tanks and our guns.
And they're murdering mothers and daughters and sons,
Over who says Salam, or Shalom, or Amen.
And sure what can you do when it's stones against guns?
And we all let it happen again and again.

For every child that they orphan or maim,
We all share in the blame, we’re all playing their game.
But what use is just hanging your head down in shame?
When it’s the Warsaw ghetto all over again.
And nobody dares call it by its name.
But we all let it happen again and again.

In a world that is brutal and cruel and unfair.
There's still those who believe, there are still those who care.
So, tell us, how long you’ll just stand there and stare?
For all this could change at the stroke of a pen.
Come down on the street and join us if you dare.
And don’t just let it happen again and again and again and again and again and again and again.
