Kobane it falls to ISIS
Murder’s irony is not so sweet
The West it turns its shoulders
Watches the news and tries to sleep
On Gaza’s shattered pasture
They grieve for their own kin
In the dark Israeli kitchens
They can’t wash away their sin
Many millions gaze in anger
A million more cry tears of shame
When they see what they have done
What’s been done in their own name
The Kurdish sky now turns red
As the women are raped below
They cry in the name of Allah
Their black flag is just a show
Back in bloody Palestine
They struggle to rebuild
The world it looks away
Their compassion has been filled
Many millions gaze in anger
A million more cry tears of shame
When they see what they have done
What’s been done in their own name
On Turkey’s frozen border
The generals stand and stare
The USA’s dirty dollars
Makes it easier to bare
Behold a pale rider
The oil baron he just stands
60 years still with the desert dust
Slipping slowly through his hands
Many millions gaze in anger
A million more cry tears of shame
When they see what they have done
What’s been done in their own name
Back home in middle England
And in the mid-west towns
The voters are manipulated
As false manikins and clowns
They say there is no money
For hospitals and schools
But billions left for weapons
We are treated worse than fools
Many millions gaze in anger
A million more cry tears of shame
When they see what they have done
What’s been done in their own name
No Time to Think
