Land Day Demo, "This Land's Not Lev's Land", 03/29/2008

"This Land's Not Lev's Land" (to the tune of "This Land is Your Land")

Land Day_ at Leviev-NY 3/29/08

 

THIS LAND'S NOT LEV'S LAND
(to the tune of This Land is Your Land)

On this year's land day, we want Lev to pay
For all he's stolen, to make his millions
From Angola's miners, to Bilin and Jayous

We won't stop 'til everyone is free!

When Israel grabbed land, in the Ga-li-lee
Palestinians rose up, like a big family
More than thirty years later, they struggle bravely
Land day means peace for you and me!

We were in the West Bank, we saw a wall there
On it a sign said, no tress passin'
But on the other side.... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!

Lev builds in Zufim, and Mattityahu
He say it's legal, we know it's not true
The whole world knows it, it's called Apartheid
Palestine's not for Jews only!

As a land thief, Lev is no shirker
But did you hear how, he treats his workers
From his buildings in Brooklyn, to his mines in Africa
Lev doesn't care who he mistreats!

As we're here singing, on glitzy Madison
There is a mother, who just lost her son
Do you think diamonds are worth such violence
Don't give Leviev your mo-ney!

On this year's land day, we want Lev to pay
For all he's stolen, to make his millions
From Angola's miners, to Bilin and Jayous
We won't stop 'til everyone is free!
