Not Like Us © Lorelei Loveridge/Orderly Bazaar Records & Publishing, 2008.
Raze down those olive trees
Bulldoze those houses, please
Build the wall and damn them all
Raze down those olive trees
Fire on the boys with stones
Send all those bullets home
Lie to the world and deny you killed a schoolgirl
Fire on the boys with stones
Point the finger now
Suicide bombers wreak a living hell
Lock the jails up tight
Breed the next generation’s will to fight
Re-draw the borders
Re-create law and order
Speak not with words
But with might
For they’re the enemy—terrorists, terrorists
For they preach hatred—not like us, not like us
For they’re religious zealots—terrorists, terrorists
They’ll never have this land—not like us, not like us
Raze down those olive trees
Bulldoze those houses, please
Build the wall and damn them all
Raze down those olive trees
For they’re the enemy—terrorists, terrorists
For they preach hatred—not like us, not like us
For they’re religious zealots—terrorists, terrorists
They’ll never have this land—not like us, not like us
Home is Where the Heart Is © Lorelei Loveridge/Orderly Bazaar Records & Publishing, 2008
Yasmin, Yasmin, where's your man
Is he locked in a jail in Jerusalem
A stone's throw away from hope
Tell me, Yasmin, will you go
Home is where the heart is
But your mother is calling you
Home for a day of rest
What good will martyrdom do
What good will martyrdom do
Yasmin, Yasmin, what will he get
Freedom or ten years instead
And if he goes away for long
Pray, tell who will keep you both strong
Home is where the heart is
But your mother is calling you
Home for a day of rest
What good will martyrdom do
What good will martyrdom do
'You can ink your feet with blood in the street
Fall with the walls when the bombs come down
You can say you were there when the world didn't care
But when it's all said and done, will the war be won
Without words of reason, without someone to teach them
That home is where the heart is and we all need one
Yasmin, Yasmin, there's your man
Locked in a jail in Jerusalem
A stone's throw away from hope
Tell me, Yasmin, will you go now
Home is where the heart is
But your mother is calling you
Home for a day of rest
What good will martyrdom do
What good will martyrdom do
Home is where the heart is
Home is where the heart is

Thank you for sharing the lyrics to two songs that appear on my album Bakhoor, which can be found via my homepage, OrderlyBazaar.com. There are free downloads of these songs in demo format, but also the album can be purchased.
Holding these songs long and close to my heart, I had hoped to see peace break out in the region by the time these songs were put out to the world. Instead, the attrocities and killing continue. How sad that “Not Like Us” and “Home is Where the Heart Is” continue to speak to the hypocrisy on the part of governments (everywhere) that participate — directly and indirectly — to reinforce the status quo of empowering the insanely greedy and disempowering the reasoned.
I wish the people of Palestine well. Change must come.
My solidarity goes with the people of Gaza and all Palestines.
May God be with you.
