Lyrics to Shatilla

Shatilla, Shatilla Shatilla, Shatilla Shatilla, Shatilla Shatilla, Shatilla

Stinking summer 1982 The Israels pushed hard - the armor soon broke through They took Beirut and then drove on the camps The people of Shatilla didn't have a fucking chance

(chorus)

If our allies do evil well what the fuck are we? If a child is raised a killer then what can his father be? Do we desire a peace that will last? Or is genocide just a doom of our past?

(chorus)

We brought a battleship - we let the fucker rip They made a truck go boom - our base became a tomb We fought this fucking war - we'll fight 1000 more Signposts along the way - what do they fucking say?

Shatilla
