Take Me to The Arab World

lyrics

(Raceless)

In the 30s native children were taken from their homes
To live the European way
You spat on their ancestral bones!
With malice and ignorance you acted so inconsiderate
Without Islam
The Arab world
And Moorish ways you'd be illiterate
Oh how the mighty have fallen once
Then they just rise again
Like Kahane in Palestine acting evil just like Nazi men
And I can Bitch about racism
Crime after racist crime
But you massacred the environment rapidly at the same time
You might say I'm misanthropic but it's impossible to lie
The only way we'll save the earth now is if we all commit suicide!

(August 2)

Families fled bombs in Lebanon
But the streets of Lakemba is where they're from
Behind backs of working class immigrants are prodigal sons running rampant
First generation Australians pretending to be Mid-East aliens
Sedans cruising at driveby speed
Jeering at surfies
There's no need
Heckling on duty lifeguards
Provoked smacks in the face real hard
Why the cowardly gang bashing?
Cars don't deserve windscreen smashing!

(Vulk Makedonski)

Governments of the world wake up!
No politician, physician, anthropologist can swallow this
Un-manifest manifest cosmic consciousness yes rest seek
The counselof others
Experience communion
Right the wrongs of a nation
With strong equations
Combinations
The essence of explanation
No longer facing the
Reflection of your ideas
Cultures alter your chemical
State of the blood
Artificially
Hold your breath
The soul has depth
Now synchronize
Blink your eyes
Universal mind contemplate responsible response
Respond to a pond of sages for ages
Historical repetitive bloody pages
Suspension of shamanic practice
Baptism
Practitioner
Rap conditioner
Listen up!
North Indian
Ground art graffiti spiral form
Protection for sacred land
Center chest heart beat one love
Creator of our destiny
To bring out the best in you
And the best in me
