I HEAR MUSIC
(adapted from “Crater Boys” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjvjsqN9x6U)

1st CHORUS
I hear music, I hear music
Whoaoa-oah FREE PALESTINE
I hear music, I hear music
Whoaoa-oah FREE PALESTINE
Israel’s arms-and-tanks
Are paid from BRI-TISH banks
Of the HSBC, the HSBC, of the H—S-B-C kind. (SHAME on---H-S-B-C!)
I hear music, I hear music
Whoa-oah FREE PALESTINE
VERSE (solo)
Mr Settler Man, why do you steal our land?
Why don’t you get back, get back, get back from Pale-stine!
You steal our nation, with your occupation
Though it’s ours, it’s ours, it’s ours, ours, it’s ours
Not your promised land
2st CHORUS
I hear music, I hear music
Whoaoa-oah FREE PALESTINE
Israel’s arms-and-tanks
Are paid from BRI-TISH banks
Of the HSBC, the HSBC, of the H—S-B-C kind. (SHAME on---H-S-B-C!)
I hear music, I hear music
Whoa-oah FREE PALESTINE

VERSE (solo)
You steal our water
Arrest our daughter (FREE AHED NOW!!)
We’ll make you get back, get back, get back from Pale-stine
With your Wall and fencing, for your ethnic cleansing
You want to drive us out, just to drive us out
From our promised land.
3st CHORUS
I hear music, I hear music
Whoaoa-oah FREE PALESTINE
Israel’s arms-and-tanks
Are paid from BRI-TISH banks
Of the HSBC, the HSBC, of the H—S-B-C kind. (SHAME on---H-S-B-C!)
I hear music, I hear music
Whoa-oah FREE PALESTINE
SOLO
VERSE (everybody)
Just like birds of a feather, we got to stick together
And spread our love, our love and justice for Palestine
Repeat: And spread our love, our love and justice for Pale-stine
Whooa, FREE PALESTINE
Whoa, shame on H-SBC
Whoa, FREE PALESTINE

Whoaaaaaa, SHAME on H-SBC
