Bring Down The House

This is a story that you should all know

Once upon a time 20 years ago

Shatila and Sabra

Your echoes of death

Lie buried in rubble

But we won't forget

Soldiers are gunning, your blood and your tears

Silent with fear as the gunshots near

Who'll learn of your fate?

There ain't no escape

Loaded on trucks

Headed for a mass grave

Terror in the streets and shooting all around

They scalp a youn child

And castrate a young man

Discriminate not these bullets of hate

Phalange soldiers exercising their faith

Who'll hear your cries in this state of madness?

While a TV news crew films you helpless

Praying to god in an ungodly land

In this culture of murder

Lonely you stand

Pop, pop, pop!

The shots ring out!

Murder them and bulldoze the house!

Pop, pop, pop!

The shots ring out!

Murder them and bring down the house!

Who'll stop the killing, the dying, the screaming?

Zion is watching the horrors unfolding

Soldiers and orders

Their duty the follow

Vengeance and bloodshed

Is what they will swallow

Government minister giving the direction

Now the prime minister

No we ain't forgotten

You say that you deny

And hide from these war crimes

Wash the blood like herod

Just like in the good old times

And we hipe you got it coming

Cos the guilty's walking free

Successful in your lives

Crimes against humanity

No arrest, no charge

For these ruthless cold killers

Now they're business men

Working for U.S. dollars
