The song is about the helplessness that we Palestinian citizens of
Israel feel as the state to which we pay taxes massacres our people
only a few kilometers away; we literally see the Israeli fighter
aircraft flying over our heads on their way to bomb Gaza, and then we
see the videos and images of their victims. How do we confront that
helplessness?
To pay off your loan, take a loan, even two, whatever
We leave this world with nothing,
Earn 100 bucks and the IRS bites off 200
It bombs Gaza with 100 and the rest, you know where they shove it
And here I am stuck in my head
Sometimes I run away, sometimes I stay put.
Even if this hardship is more than I can take
Im staying here, obstinate
Sometimes I give up, sometimes I hold my head up
Sometimes I run away, sometimes I stand still
Even if I dont understand politics
Im staying obstinate, cuz whatever.
