This is an issue

They save sea turtles
They kill human animals
But this is one issue, and that’s another

How to become a white angel?
Bear half a conscience
Fight for freedom movements
Annihilate liberation movements
Distribute your compassion and tenderness
Over the killed according to nationality
But this is one issue, and that’s another

How to become civilized
Abiding by all terms and conditions
Make all your words righteous

Take trees into your arms
Sugarcoat titles and names
While an army demolishes a nearby school
And when caught red-handed… with blood
Say everyone’s a victim
But this is one issue, and that’s another

How can I believe this world?
When it talks about humanity?
Seeing a mother lamenting her child
Who died in a raid… hungry
Making a killer on par with their victim
With all honesty and fairness
But this is one issue, and that’s another


How can I sleep peacefully?
Plugging my ears
While a family is buried under the rubble of its home
Forsaken... denied rescue
As if the earth in which they’re buried
Is not of this earth
But this is one issue, and that’s another

How to live in an open prison
With bars of fire and ashes
Raise from the rubble
Grab your killer by the neck
Gather your remains and fight
And show the deceiving world
How the law of the jungle is forced
Where’s the route to freedom
How to take on a tank barehanded

It doesn’t matter if the world speaks out
Die free… don’t live in submission
Inspire generation after generation
How to live and die for a cause

What world are we calling for
To denounce and condemn?
Condemn all you want
For any condemnation of crimes in the slaughterhouse
Won’t soften the powder’s charge
And won’t bring back daylight
But this’s one issue…
And that’s an honorable struggle…
