Green Grass, Running Water
I don't know how
I'm supposed to call this my home now
What about where I come from
This land of exile
This place I'm supposed to wait meanwhile
Squatters desecrate my home
The water runs diverted from mouths
To fenced-in settlement pools
The D-9 uproots the green grass
On its way to destroy more schools
I'm supposed to accept these insults
But I can't forget and move on
I won't forget and move on
And what about this place
I've barely even seen the face
Of the people that had lived here once
Displaced in same circumstance
This land of exile is the home they long for all the while
I'm forced to sit here respectfully
Searching for an apology
The water runs the treaties still hold
But have we ever upheld the deals
The green grass now refuge to rest of us
Remains a lost home to you
And here I am barred from our return
Comfortable in turn
And I don't know exactly what to do
So I'm hoping that you
Accept this thank you
A catch-22
A catch-22
I'm supposed to call this my home now
What about where I come from
This land of exile
This place I'm supposed to wait meanwhile
Squatters desecrate my home
The water runs diverted from mouths
To fenced-in settlement pools
The D-9 uproots the green grass
On its way to destroy more schools
I'm supposed to accept these insults
But I can't forget and move on
I won't forget and move on
And what about this place
I've barely even seen the face
Of the people that had lived here once
Displaced in same circumstance
This land of exile is the home they long for all the while
I'm forced to sit here respectfully
Searching for an apology
The water runs the treaties still hold
But have we ever upheld the deals
The green grass now refuge to rest of us
Remains a lost home to you
And here I am barred from our return
Comfortable in turn
And I don't know exactly what to do
So I'm hoping that you
Accept this thank you
A catch-22
A catch-22
