Rank Treachery

                                      To the tune of "Sweet Caroline"

 

                                      It's in the book,

                                      The Book of Esther not well known.

                                      The Tribe comes first,

                                      And for their rivals, genocide.

                                      It's how they make their problems gone.

 

                                      Swords, wielding swords,

                                      Thrusting out, killing you, thrilling them.

 

                                      Rank treachery:

                                      It's their major stock in trade.

                                      Through history:

                                      See how they've used the Ha-mas raid.

 

                                      Lavon Affair.

                                      A warming up for nine eleven.

                                      We should have learned a thing or two.

                                      The Liberty:

                                      A slaughter of our sailors.

                                      Assassination is what they do.

 

                                      Bombs, dropping bombs

                                      On the defenseless, by the score.

 

                                      Rank treachery:

                                      It's their major stock in trade.

                                      Through history:

                                      See how they've used the Ha-mas raid.

 

                                      Rank treachery:

                                      It's their major stock in trade.

                                      Rank treachery,

                                      And so their devious plans are laid.

                                      Rank treachery.

                                      It's how their game is always played.

 

                                      David Martin
