Gaza
By David Rovics (with lyrical adaptations by Ben Grosscup)

Two point two million people
Surrounded on all sides
Refugees since ‘48
Since ‘67 occupied

The only reason they’re not starving
Is because of the UN
Most have never left there
Stuck in the lion’s den

The most crowded place on Earth
And there they’ll stay
They can’t visit cousins
A half hour’s drive away

Drones overhead
Constantly
Who will die tomorrow?
A daily mystery
. . . In Gaza


The settlers moved out
The fighter jets moved in
In Gaza there’s just no
Way that you can win

You can’t take out a ‘copter
With an antiquated gun
You’re just a target
Sitting in the sun

Waiting for your death
To come raining from the sky
Watching as the wells
Steadily run dry

You can hear a sonic boom
and see a flashing light
Every hour of the day
Every hour of the night
. . . In Gaza


There are no shelters
Nowhere you can hide
Life is nothing like it is
On the other side

There’s nowhere to escape
From the killing and the stress
The pilots bomb the hospitals,
Where people convalesce

Yet still some people wonder
They insist on asking why
Anyone could give
Such a ghastly reply

They wonder how anyone could
Respond to it all
By killing people
Just over the wall
. . . Around Gaza
The wall around Gaza

We need freedom for Gaza!
