Greater Israel

 

To the tune of “Paper Roses

 

                                    Pursuit of power that's based on treachery

                                    Is what their past and their writings are made of,

                                    But if you want to make it here it's plain to see,

                                    You have to profess to them undying love.

 

                                    Greater Israel, greater Israel,

                                    For us it's money poorly spent.

                                    Look out for their next provocation,

                                    Their generated "catalyzing event."

 

                                    This "friend" we're told to save our love for,

                                    With billions of support for them a must,

                                    But with their ongoing wholesale slaughter,

                                    The whole world sees us with disgust.

 

                                    Greater Israel, greater Israel,

                                    For us it's money poorly spent.

                                    Look out for their next provocation,

                                    Their generated "catalyzing event."

 

David Martin
