Look into my eyes And tell me what you see. You don't see a damn thing, 'cause you can't possibly relate to me. You're blinded by our differences. My life makes no sense to you. I'm the persecuted Palestinian. You're the American red, white and blue. Each day you wake in tranquility, No fears to cross your eyes. Each day I wake in gratitude, Thanking God He let me rise. You worry about your education And the bills you have to pay. I worry about my vulnerable life And if I'll survive another day. Your biggest fear is getting ticketed As you cruise your Cadillac. My fear is that the tank that just left Will turn around and come back. American, do you realize, That the taxes that you pay Feed the forces that traumatize My every living day? The bulldozers and the tanks, The gases and the guns, The bombs that fall outside my door, All due to American funds. Yet do you know the truth Of where your money goes? Do you let your media deceive your mind? Is this a truth
