Islamophobic Lullabies |
This is Jamal’s song, name means beauty, are we this far gone? |
Headlines associate kids with waterboarding and car bombs |
Jamal’s from same part of the world you got the guitar from |
Still a wonderful world, sing it like Louis Armstrong |
Any kid bullied, I made this to keep your heart strong |
Colonisers names the same pavements that we march on |
Please don’t project the war on terror onto children |
They are not suspects or combatants, you cannot kill them |
Please don’t project the war on terror onto Grenfell |
State capture and de-regulation, it doesn’t end well |
Prevent spying on children, got them stepping on eggshells |
Flash lies across the pages, Islamophobia and death cells |
Psychological warriors, mess with the percentages |
Innocent kids in school labelled grooming gangs and terrorists |
Battle stereotypes like climbing over Everest |
What we must question is how these ideas became so prevalent |
The rag-heads and Pakis are still worrying your dad |
But your dad’s favourite food is still curry or kebab |
The rag-heads and Pakis are still worrying your dad |
But your dad’s favourite food is still curry or kebab |
Oh, I know you’re peering through the window |
But they don’t see you anymore |
Don’t lose yourself in what they think though |
'Cause this has never been your war |
You can tell Prevent stop spying on little kids |
Tell the terrible tabloids stop tarnishing immigrants |
And tell the think-thanks their role is insidious |
And tell the nasty neocons stop funding this ignorance |
Victims of this myth creation searching for inspiration |
Hope this song can comfort you through the intimidation |
Hope you beat those that smeared you through the courts of litigation |
And hold your heads up high through these trials and tribulations |
These morbid remorseless authors, pave the way for disorders |
They murdered the Magna Carta, to hell with habeas corpus, rendition |
Torture across borders, they tore up laws as they scorch them |
Now they, pull up the drawbridge and tell you hordes are enormous |
Only 0.18% of this country’s refugees, won’t regulate fossil fuelers or owners |
of SUVs |
But they demonise heroes for braving the seven seas, 34,000 die trying to enter |
here, rest in peace |
Moment of silence |
The rag-heads and Pakis are still worrying your dad |
But your dad’s favourite food is still curry or kebab |
The rag-heads and Pakis are still worrying your dad |
But your dad’s favourite food is still curry or kebab |
Oh, I know you’re peering through the window |
But they don’t see you anymore |
Don’t lose yourself in what they think though |
'Cause this has never been your war |
A cucumber’s not a bomber, terrorist’s house is just a home |
A free Palestine badge is harmless, you’re a war on terror drone |
A cucumber’s not a bomber, terrorist’s house is just a home |
A free Palestine badge is harmless, you’re a war on terror drone |
Cucumber’s not a bomber, terrorist’s house is just a home |
A free Palestine badge is harmless, you’re a war on terror drone |
Cucumber’s not a bomber, terrorist’s house is just a home |
A free Palestine badge is harmless, you’re a war on terror drone |
Cucumber’s not a bomber, terrorist’s house is just a home |
A free Palestine badge is harmless, you’re a war on terror drone |
