Ten Foot Pole - Rachel Corrie lyrics

You heard of Rachel Coorie? The press won't tell her story Caught between a house and bulldozer She found out that Israel Hates gardens and it will k** Americans who help rebuild the Gaza Strip. Let's pretend that everything will be OK It's not our fault let's look the other way And go to films or dance lessons or baseball games at night and trust elected leaders to choose right I hurt for Rachel's father To bury his young daughter And her belief in human goodness He taught her to fight violence Now all that's left is silence And the memory of her dignity Let's pretend... Rachel I hope you find justice or even a Garden where anyone can grow some food in peace No guns, no need to fight. No poor, no black no white, Heaven, you deserve a break from misery
