The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (Live) - OFFICIAL PROMO To be read and memorized... The thing that makes me cry every time is:
In the video that they found at the home of Abdel Mahdi Shahmay
He held a Kalashnikov rifle and he spoke with a voice like a boy
and it makes me think of a boy so many years ago...
Young Abdel Mahdi Shahmay was only 18 years old,
He was the youngest of nine children
He never spent a night away from home.
And his mother held his photograph up in the New York Times
To see the killing has intensified along the road to peace
He was a tall, thin boy with a wispy moustache
Disguised as an orthodox Jew
On a crowded bus in Jerusalem, some had survived World War Two
And the thunderous explosion blew out windows two hundred yards away
With more retribution and seventeen dead along the road to peace
Now at King George Ave and Jaffa Road passengers boarded bus 14A
In the aisle next to the driver Abdel Mahdi Shahmay
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
Yasser Taha, Israel says is an Hamas senior militant
And Israel sent four choppers in, flames engulfed his white Opel
And it killed his wife and his three 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 ever give up their smallest right
Along the road to peace
Israel launched its latest campaign against Hamas on Tuesday
Two days later Hamas shot back and killed five Israeli soldiers
So 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
"And this is our land we will fight with all
Our force" say the Palestinians and the Jews
Each side will cut off the hand of
Anyone who tries to stop the resistance
If the right eye offends thee then you must pluck it out
And Mahmoud Abbas said Sharon had been 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 a re-election
But Bush is reluctant to risk his future
In the fear of his political failures
So he plays chess at his desk and poses for the press
Ten thousand miles from the road to peace
In the video that they found at the home of Abdel Mahdi Shahmay
He held a Kalashnikov rifle and he spoke with a 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 wi
