Funny Palestine
You can never be my valentine
My funny funny funny
Palestine
Every move you make
Every breathe you take
I’ll be watching you
I’d never let you be my Frankenstein
My funny funny funny
Palestine
You can scream out loud
Draw their attention
But you can’t change my paradigm
Love’s a lie, when did I deny
I’d always treat you as my
savage little Arab concubine
My funny funny funny
Palestine
I’ll make you dream and then you’d scream
At your shrinking border line
I’ll be on top when you’d go down
Understand I’ll always undermine
I’ll cry murder to make you surrender
Your place to be always under mine
My funny funny funny
Palestine
No happy ending no happy ever after
Thats what I want to be your storyline
They’d just cheer, they’d may clap
Useless audience in a pantomime
I’d date the powers, I’d court the royalty
I’ll make you wither, until you dither
You be no more than a heart break casualty
My sweet naive silly pastime
My funny funny funny
Palestine
I had to move with you at yours
After that horrible terrible holocaus’
But as a smooth serpentine
I had to redefine
The land what’s left as yours and mine
My funny funny funny
Palestine
I’ll control you, mostly troll you
You’ll be always in my confine
My star is blue so is my blood
Colour of yer pain decades of timeline
My money in the West, my own banks
Your West Bank where I draw the line
A merry Ka, a mira-cle and thanks
My muse, my mistress, my lifeline
But you
You can never be my valentine
My funny funny funny
Palestine.
