Lyrics
Felyaish Kulu Nass Fee Salam (O America)
I read all the papers day after day
But there's no information, they've got nothing to say
Except that it's over and the war has been won
And they say things are better after the bombs
But here is my question and I've asked this before
Just how many children have died in this war?
Is this a solution? Can this be the way?
Is death liberation or the price they had to pay? (because)
CHORUS
O America your war was easy but
O America the peace is hard
O America your war was easy but
O America the peace is hard
Prime Minister tell me just what has been gained
What gives you the right to inflict so much pain
On so many people who've suffered before
The last thing they needed was your bloody war
You've cast your black shadow 'cross this ancient land
But it won't be forever the sun will rise again
You can't hide forever behind all your lies
And sooner not later the truth will arise
CHORUS
Felyaish Kulu Nass Fee Salam
May the people all live in peace
