TEN FOOT POLE LYRICS

"Rachel Corrie"

You heard of Rachel Coorie?
The press won't tell her story
Caught between a house and bulldozer
She found out that Israel
Hates gardens and it will kill
Americans who help rebuild the Gaza Strip

Let's pretend that everything will be okay
It's not our fault let's look the other way
And go to films or dance lessons or baseball games at night
And trust elected leaders to choose right

I hurt for Rachel's father
To bury his young daughter
And her belief in human goodness
He taught her to fight violence
Now all that's left is silence
And the memory of her dignity

Let's pretend that everything will be okay
It's not our fault let's look the other way
And go to films or dance lessons or baseball games at night
And trust elected leaders to choose right

Rachel I hope you find
Justice or even a garden
Where anyone can grow some food in peace
No guns, no need to fight
No poor, no black no white
Heaven, you deserve a break from misery

Let's pretend that everything will be okay
It's not our fault let's look the other way
And go to films or dance lessons or baseball games at night
And trust elected leaders to choose right

Thanks to Maarten Joostens for these lyrics
