America Never Learns

The powerful have bombs
the students have voices
enough is enough they say
University campuses unite

A map in the year of 1947
tells a story no one in the west
really wants to hear
thieves on stolen lands

America, professional bombers
Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and so on
millions dead, and the comedy is this
Mandela was labelled a terrorist

The Warsaw Ghetto uprising
a horror then, being repeated now
the resistance is being heard
free Palestine

Charge the oppressors
with crimes against humanity
youth may not always know what is right
they surely know what is wrong
