What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
[talking: man]
2
... to face the fact
3
That in a democratic country, we are responsible for what our government's do
4
And the only way we can expiate that responsibility is to
5
Use every breath we have, everything we can do
6
To demonstrate our utter rejection of the criminal acts of our government's
7
[Verse 1:]
8
Apartheid on West Bank - nobody cares
9
Shots coming from the left flank, the kids unaware
10
Refugee camps a death camp, live by the flares
11
I'm here to treat me like I got opinions nobody shares?
12
My politics is more than just 'f**k Tony Blair'
13
Gordon Brown, David Cameron, that's why I'm still standing
14
I'm more inclined to expose Israel to their apartheid
15
Bring on your excuses, the truth is you can't hide
16
Even when our politicians in the West act righteous and piest
17
Doing what they do best - start talking all about road maps and shit
18
While Israelis are busy busting caps and shit
19
Got the bulldozers out and constructing shit
20
This place another farmer but that land is his
21
When Hamas fired rockets Israel rebounds
22
Kills five times more, locks the checkpoints down
23
How the f**k you putting checkpoints there to start with?
24
When that land's Palistinian, it's known and it's chartered
25
Collective punishment, they dish it out daily
26
So I hate Israel but I don't hate Israelis
27
Do you get that? Think a little bit before you get pissed
28
And is it any wonder Gaza kids adopt a death wish
29
And don't beleive that being Jewish is the same as being pro-Zionist
30
That's a Zionist game to make you think cussing Israel's a racist view
31
I don't think so, but I'll tell you what racists do
32
To make you think that other people's are stupid and mean
33
And get to killing 'em - Like Sharon did in Geneve
34
Start provoking 'em - Like Sharon did at Temple Mount
35
Same way Bush is always calling Muslims out
36
Same way the Home Office over here is always calling minorities out
37
Calling you racists out
38
f**k some 'baby baby' shit, some 'get go f**k a bitch' gravy gravy shit
39
BRAINTAX GAVE YOU THIS
40
You wanna be like "I was too serious"
41
I'll say stay ignorant and I'll stay curious
42
[Chorus:]
43
Ask the rest of the world - The beast is us
44
Wanna buy another weapon - The beast is us
45
Wanna get away with murder - The beast is us
46
We're the West and the beast is us
47
Ask the rest of the planet - The beast is us
48
Want to buy another missile - The beast is us
49
Yesteryear we trust bombs from Russia with love
50
But nowadays I guess the beast is us (The beast is us)
51
[Verse 2:]
52
Short memories allay [? ]
53
Spit 'bout crimes we forget for the sake of our own little tragedy's
54
Incidental maladies
55
Irrelivant like a f**king Akon balladist
56
The biggest shame of this society we live in
57
While we act all spiritual when we're money driven
58
It's the way we forget in a hell of a rush
59
Like 'If it ain't affecting me then I ain't too fussed'
60
Then there's bombs on the street and us Brits get shaky
61
But how can we be shot - Check our leadership lately?
62
They're rattling to save us, talking 'bout Jesus
63
Fundementalist believers acting like crusaders
64
Memories are short over here
65
The zeitgeist is a truck that the media steer
66
So we ain't on the streets protesting - We're stuck in front of TV sex digesting
67
Forgetting about the lies and the unfound weapons
68
Suggestions, the questions we should be asking journalists a second
69
I'm (BRAAAIIIIN) taxing - the opposite of asprin
70
Blood is on the streets and the East End soaking it up
71
Bush making me a target - and I'm not too pleased
72
There's no peace when the beast is us
73
[Chorus]
74
[talking: woman]
75
... We see other families in the area suffer very heavy casualties
76
Perhaps 160 wounded were taken to Gaza City Shifa Hospital last night
77
There are more than two dozen still in hospital
78
Head wounds, fractures, burns from flying pieces of metal
79
Among them are many children
80
The very high civillian casualty toll from the assasination attempt
81
Has really fuelled the fire of revenge here
82
People are saying that Hamas is retaliatory
83
That strike against Israel is inevitable now
84
And that likely means a suicide attack on Israeli cities
