They are selling new commandments in the rain
But these are not from God,they are from men
They are selling angels’ wings,
So no more shall Raphael sing
Down in, down in,down in Jerusalem
They are building concrete houses by the dozen
And proclaiming the Messiah has arisen
They are taking words in vain
It’s driving us insane
The Jordan overflows and drowns the living.
They need water,they need food and homes to live in
While military wheels ascend to heaven
Men must fight until they kill
They say it is God’s will
So they’ll lock down even children in their prisons
If you throw a pebble at the soldier shouting
You’ll get 20 years in jail and they’re still counting
Because to them you oftimes seem
Like the Nazis in bad dreams
Who wiped them out, and they are still recruiting
We’re like blind folk in the tavern drinking doubles
But we’re creating, not forgetting, all our troubles
We attack the ones who’re near
It’s not the brandy or the beer
If we carry on the Gold will turn to rubble
How my heart sings
