We Are Not Numbers (We Are Palestine)

If you're not crying when you think about Palestine

You don't really know a thing about Palestine

When you're trapped between the bullets and the borderline

Where you gonna run to when the bombs start falling?

Well now he's searching for his father in the rubble

But he's crying so he's seeing double

He's clinging to his brother's hand

cos his mother used to tell him just stay out of trouble Ali listen to your brother

But now his mother's gone

And there's no place to run

there's no place to hide from the open sky

And when you're done

What will this child become

When you're raining fire into his open mind

Raining fire into the open

If you're not crying when you think about Palestine

You don't really know a thing about Palestine

When you're trapped between the bullets and the borderline

Where you gonna run to when the bombs start falling?

If you're not crying when you think about Palestine

You don't really know a thing about Palestine

When you're trapped between the bullets and the borderline

Where you gonna run to when the bombs start falling?

Well now they're talking about the numbers on the telly

20 thousand 30 they don't know how many

Some of these families got no one even left to bury

Every generation's been taken like this is ordinary

And still you're telling me there are no innocents

While you be bombing all the children in their tenements

And while our crooked politicians keep arguing over who the threat is

I hear these dead kids singing

We are not numbers no no

We are not numbers no no no no no

We are not numbers no no

We are not numbers no no no no no

We are not numbers no no

We are not numbers no no no no no no

While our leaders wring their bloody hands

And say they can't give in to our demands

They keep on signing the papers

And doing the favours

To keep the weapons

Flowing to the holy land

So tell your leaders that you've had enough

And keep on fighting never giving up

Try to give your voice to the voiceless

There's power in your choices

Singing at the top of your voices

We are not numbers no no

We are not numbers no no no no no

We are not numbers no no

We are not numbers no no no no no

We are not numbers no no

We are not numbers no no no no no

We are not numbers no no

We are not numbers no no no no no

We are not numbers no no

We are not numbers no no no no no

We are not numbers no no

We are not numbers no no no no no

We are not numbers no no

We are not numbers no no no no no no

We are Palestine

If you're not crying when you think about Palestine

You don't really know a thing about Palestine

When you're trapped between the bullets and the borderline

Where you gonna run to when the bombs start falling?
