Erik Truffaz – Yabous lyrics

Welcome to the city of Yabous
Where one man's joy is the other man's blues
And one man's obituary is the other's good news
And everybody thinks they're possessing the truth
Doing wicked things no religion could excuse
But God's the only judge, everyone stands accused
Those who abuse the youth they confused
The ones who exploit those with nothing to lose
See, when it's an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth
Beware of the hate that hate produced
So people don't sleep no more, they just snooze
Keep an eye wide open just in case shit breaks loose
At home, at school, somewhere down the avenue
There's a checkpoint every soul must pass thru
And I won't be free and neither will you
Until each and every people will be free too
How many kids must get killed, how much blood spilled
How many homes bulldozed, how many walls built
How many bombs must explode, how many graves filled
Before we live as one according to God's will
Listen up, y'all descendant of Abraham
And all y'all, sons and daughter of Ibrahim
you gotta water the garden of canaan
Before it s gonna dry out like a desert dream
See, a tree has many branches that share the same roots
No matter which branch it bears the same fruit
Now, Israelites and Ishmaelites have to have equal rights and justice
