Story Behind the Song
the lyrics pretty much say it all,, i don't leave it too open for interpretation. as for the title,, it's named after the Dr. Suess story "The Lorax" in which two characters are walking in the desert towards eachother and they stop dead in eachothers tracks. One had always learned all his life always to walk north; not a step to the east, not a step to the west. The other had been taught all his life always to walk south; not a step to the west, not a step to the east. So they stand there, faced towards eachother with their arms crossed and years go by. a towns develops in the area and roads are built around them because they're too stubborn to reach a compromise.
also, after becoming more educated on the conflict i recently changed the lyrics a bit, more twords the palestinian side. the words below are the revised lyrics,, the words you hear in the song are the old lyrics i don't agree with anymore.
Lyrics
how can anyone fight a holy war
over land that's not even holy anymore?
U.S. money doesn't justify theft
past oppression gives no one the right to oppress
Israel belongs to no faith
Israel belongs to no race
it's sadly in the hands of those filled with hate
who have to oppress to govern a state
a few lines of scripture give them ease
when they wage war and say they want peace
Yah Weh, God, or Allah's overtaken in shame
cause his kids think they're right when they kill in his name
Israel belongs to no faith
Israel belongs to no race
this ancient war is older than the sun
where is another Gandhi when you need one?
A mom will take a bomb to a shop and kill 3
and bulldozers go over a grove of olive trees
if that's not enough they'll bulldoze some homes
but not without resistance from some kids and their stones
Israel belongs to no faith
Israel belongs to no race
idiots govern in the middle east
as long as they're in power there's no hope for peace
