Young Abdul Abdi-shabnei was only 18 years old He was the youngest of 9 children Never spent a night away from home And his mother held his photograph up in the New York Times You see the killing has intensified along the road to peace He was the tall young boy with the whispy moustache Disguised as an orthodox Jew On a crowded bus in Jerusalem Some of em had survived World War 2 And the thunderous explosion Blew out windows 200 yards away For retribution and 17 dead Along the road to peace Now at Kiach Road and Jaffa Road passengers boarded bus 14A In the aisle next to the driver, Abdul Abdi-shabnei And the last thing that he said on Earth Is God is great, and God is good And he blew them all to kingdom come Upon the road to peace Now in response to this Another kiss of death was visited upon Yabshil-tara, Israel says is an Hamas senior militant Israel sent 4 choppers in Flames engulfed his white Opal And it killed his wife and his 3 year old child Leaving only blackened skeletons They found his toddler's bottle and a pair of small shoes And they waved them in front of the cameras But Israel says they did not know that his wife and child were in the car There are roadblocks everywhere and only suffering on TV Neither side will give up their smallest right Along the road to peace Israel launched its latest campaign against Hamas on Tuesday And 2 days later Hamas shot back They killed 5 Israeli soldiers Though thousands dead and wounded on both sides Most of them Middle-Eastern civilians They fill their children full of hate to fight an old man's war And die upon the road to peace This is our land we will fight with all our force Say the Palestinians and the Jews Each side will cut off the head of anyone Who tries to stop the resistance If thy right eye offends thee Then you must pluck it out Mahmoud Abbas and Ariel Sharon, lost out along the road to peace Once Kissinger said we have no friends America only has interests Now our president wants to be seen as a hero And he's hungry for election But Bush is reluctant to risk his future And the fear of his political failures So he plays chess at his desk and poses for the press 10,000 miles from the road to peace The video that they found at the home of Abdul Abdi-shabnei He held a Kalishnikov rifle and he spoke with the voice like a boy He was an excellent student He studied so hard It was as if he had a future He told his mother that he had a test that day Out along the road to peace The fundamentalist killing on both sides Is standing in the path of peace But tell me why are we arming the Israeli army With guns and tanks and bullets And if God is great and God is good Why can't he change the hearts of men? Maybe God himself is lost and needs help Maybe God himself he needs all of our help Maybe God himself is lost and needs help He's out upon the road to peace Maybe God himself is lost and needs help Maybe God himself he needs all of our help He's out upon the road to peace He's lost upon the road to peace Out upon the road to peace |
