Ooh, the lonely boys |
|
In their towers of faith |
|
Oh, the lonely boys |
|
Locked in their towers of faith |
|
The prophet reclined on the Golan Heights |
|
Oh, the lonely boys |
|
He said, this land is my land to the Shiites |
|
Oh, the lonely boys |
|
And Jehova looked up from the Sea of Galilee beneath |
|
He said, |
|
"I see you, you thief!" |
|
This land is my land |
|
And this sand is my sand |
|
And this band is my band |
|
Oh, the lonely boys |
|
Lookin' over their shoulder |
|
Checkin out every boulder in the park |
|
Where the gates are closed from hate |
|
After dark |
|
And the Pope rolled up in his armored van |
|
He fell on his knees and kissed the land |
|
He said something that I did not understand |
|
It was in polish |
|
Then up stepped an aide |
|
He said, I will translate |
|
Here is what His Holiness said: |
|
"I am the Chief Jesuit. |
|
This land is Jesus' land. |
|
And that is all, all that there is to it." |
|
Hail Mary |
|
Mother of God |
|
And in New York City |
|
The business man in his mohair suit |
|
In the world trade center |
|
Puffs on his cheroot |
|
And he said, |
|
"Well, I don't care who owns the desert sands. |
|
My brief is with the hydrocarbons underneath." |
|
And the sea of battle rages |
|
Around the ancient tombs |
|
And Mother Nature licks her wounds |
|
And the lonely boys locked in their towers of faith |
|
Who are nervous in the park |
|
When the gates are closed after dark |
|
Oh, the lonely boys |
|
In their towers of faith |
|
Oh, the lonely boys |
|
Locked in their towers of faith |
