Tell me what were their names,
tell me - what were their names?
did you have a friend –
on that ship to Gaza today?
Early this morn them boats
got attacked by the Israeli army while
sailing on international waters
-heading for Gaza
with food and clothes and medicine for people in need
There's 19 shot dead says my news magazine

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why-y-y-y
tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

Enough is enough
and Gaza must be freed.
It's been occupied now
since the 1960s
There are children growing up
in the hell behind that wall,
The wall that you built
– now must fall

Do you really think you're stopping
any terrorism
with hate and poverty
and violence and racism?
There are bombs falling from the sky
over refugee camps
Soon these kids will stand
with guns in their hands..

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why-y-y-y
tell me why, tell me why, tell me why.

Here's a tip to you, people of Israel
you must think of the Palestinians
as of your own citizens
the two state solution, in your face
we must live as one on this Earth – or disintegrate

Tear down the wall, bring food in there
bring help to build new homes
you can be the one
building new schools
Soon enough you will see
a spark in these kids eyes
and they're gonna grow up – not to fight
But to think of Israel
as a nation of glory
Today Israel....
there's a whole other story

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why-y-y-y
tell me why, tell me why, tell me why.

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why-y-y-y
tell me why, tell me why..
Please tell me why.
