1
Oh! Oliver Boy what did you do?
2
But crush the hand you never shook
3
Then rob the rights of people to be free
4
Oh! Oliver Boy it's a terrible state
5
You left behind a worse off race
6
Where dignity and pride fought for their place
7
Oh! Oliver Boy now you are gone
8
And we're still here where we belong
9
Forgiveness being our strength you'll never see
10
Now the sun shines on this page I write
11
Though it's raining hard in Palestine
12
No lands are promised lands
13
When will we see?
14
So don't tell me that your God's my God
15
I don't think they even care at all
16
Just a pantomime behind a curtain lies deceit
17
Oh listen to me bark out loud
18
Without a voice and little growl
19
Snapping at the heels I wait
20
For something more to change
21
The more they stay the same
22
[Chorus:]
23
Oliver Boy! It's the same militia
24
Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different
25
Oliver Boy! It's the same old story
26
Where there's blood there's death not glory
27
Look into these empty eyes
28
Fed upon by parasites
29
As beauty's ugly head devours its plight
30
While the borders of our hate create
31
Nothing more than each our fate
32
Trapped between our comfort and our crime
33
So stand along the graveyard wall
34
And watch the souls perform their song
35
Sing to us the dead above
36
As the mourners come to pray
37
The living stay away
38
[Chorus:]
39
Oliver Boy! It's the same militia
40
Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different
41
Oliver Boy! It's the same old story
42
Where there's blood there's death not glory
43
Oliver Boy! We're all someone's sons
44
All of our Boys! Just put down the guns
45
Oliver Boy! You're dead but listen
46
You were wrong but we're no different
47
Marching to the left, everyone in step
48
Don't ask the question, why we're here with no direction
49
Marching to the right, this is not our fight
50
The curse of friction, born of man and contradiction
51
[Chorus]
52
All of our Boys!
53
Now the sun shines on this page I write
54
Though it's raining hard in Palestine
