Dizraeli - Cool and Calm lyrics
[Dizraeli - Cool and Calm lyrics]
A river runs through here once in a year
Everybody stay cool and calm
Cos up at the border a teen boy's got a gun
Everyone stay cool and calm
Down past the Dead Sea
There are bodies stretched out in the sun
Stay cool and calm
I’m on a bus full of soldiers
They’re playing slapsies down the front
Stay cool and calm
Every brick is full of legend
Pilgrims file down the narrow lanes
Like a long line of silly little questions
Looking for a miracle ascension
Fences hold 'em back
Shuffle footed sheep, branded shoulder bags
This a holy land
You can tell it from the barb wire
Roped off relics
Adolescent men in car tyre roadblocks
And the wall, the wall
That turns me to a flabbergasted fool
In an avalanche of stories
Too heinous to believe
I see my father dragged out
And beaten in the street
I see my cousin screaming down the
Barrel of a tank's gun
The tanned young soldier who
Is hideously handsome
Looking blank back at him
Overspilling with the times
Nineteen with a military mind
Wearing billabong and Calvin Klein
At the barracks with his child friends
He's loving and he's civil and he's kind
He's loving and he's civil and the pulls
The trigger in a blind terror
And my cousin's blown into never-never
With brains spattered over the
Divide as we're watching tell us then
What are our options?
A river runs through here once in a year
Everybody stay cool and calm
Cos up at the border everyone has got a gun
Stay cool and calm
Down past the Red Sea
They are laying bodies out in the sun
Stay cool and calm
I'm in a room full of soldiers
They're playing truth or dare down the front
Stay cool and calm
Everybody stay cool and calm
Cos up at the border a teen boy's got a gun
Everyone stay cool and calm
Down past the Dead Sea
There are bodies stretched out in the sun
Stay cool and calm
I’m on a bus full of soldiers
They’re playing slapsies down the front
Stay cool and calm
Every brick is full of legend
Pilgrims file down the narrow lanes
Like a long line of silly little questions
Looking for a miracle ascension
Fences hold 'em back
Shuffle footed sheep, branded shoulder bags
This a holy land
You can tell it from the barb wire
Roped off relics
Adolescent men in car tyre roadblocks
And the wall, the wall
That turns me to a flabbergasted fool
In an avalanche of stories
Too heinous to believe
I see my father dragged out
And beaten in the street
I see my cousin screaming down the
Barrel of a tank's gun
The tanned young soldier who
Is hideously handsome
Looking blank back at him
Overspilling with the times
Nineteen with a military mind
Wearing billabong and Calvin Klein
At the barracks with his child friends
He's loving and he's civil and he's kind
He's loving and he's civil and the pulls
The trigger in a blind terror
And my cousin's blown into never-never
With brains spattered over the
Divide as we're watching tell us then
What are our options?
A river runs through here once in a year
Everybody stay cool and calm
Cos up at the border everyone has got a gun
Stay cool and calm
Down past the Red Sea
They are laying bodies out in the sun
Stay cool and calm
I'm in a room full of soldiers
They're playing truth or dare down the front
Stay cool and calm
