lyrics

Johnny Jacket
Shiny rays of the moon rubbish on the concrete... 
Inside the mind of a soul confined. 
Broken wires on the loom, hard stones to hurl.
 Move the streams of the Palestinian sea.
The cracking tonight is in progress in the city of the damned
All the TV lights 
Are reflecting our affluence
Elsewhere beyond the window
 Another soul has paid the toll
Rotate the turnstile!
 Rotate the turnstile with force!
Disrupt communication
Brain block in action
The ice age is now a mental condition. 
Wait for the rays of the morning sun...
Police is still there
but we'll pass behind.
 Somebody calls "living" something that life ain't! 
Somebody calls this "living"
Rises a new day 
Between the gates of Palestine.
They've bet my world
In a western canny snap-match
 Everybody knows, don't disappoint the Lord! 
Johnny prepare your cool blue jacket 
You gotta go to work! 
Naji prepare your bright musket 
Ready for war!
Everybody's dreaming  of living rich on the hills.
 Somebody's screaming: "STOP!!! 
Set aflame Puppetville!"
Police is still there
But we'll pass behind. 
Somebody calls "living" something that life ain't!
 Somebody calls this "living". 
Rises a new day
 Between the gates of Palestine.
Ooh, I saw a sad man fight again! 
Ooh, I saw an old man fight for more!
Somebody calls "living" something that life ain't!
 Somebody calls this "living"
Rises a new day 
Between the gates of Palestine.
Shiny rays of the moon
 Rubbish on the concrete.
