LOYALS Lorde Rendition by Rachel Thevenard (@catsagainsttar) Lyrics
I’ve never seen my homeland in the flesh
I only know Palestine through stories
And grandma still knows the address, but it’s all gone now
Replaced with pine trees
What would you say if someone came in, took your house, put you in the bathroom
Controlled if you go in and out, decided they could bomb you
Would you not care - if other people said they heard you scream
That’s why we use our power
Boycott divest sanction israel
End the occupation end this brutal hell
To be clear
We won’t allow these systems there or here
And we’ll never be loyal
To apartheid and spilling blood
You put up walls, say just for us
And we smash them just because
We reject all rulers
And white supremacy
In life work and school (school school school)
BDS till we’re free
My friends and I we know what’s owed
We’ve been taught life from young and old
And grieving bodies
We won’t stop till the whole world knows
If you commit war crimes
You don’t get our money
So we boycott
Sabra, HP, products from the dead sea
Caterpillar, Ahava, Israeli dates and Soda Stream
We don’t care
Israeli apartheid needs a scare
That’s why we use our power
Boycott divest sanction israel
End the occupation end this brutal hell
To be clear
We won’t allow these systems there or here
And we’ll never be loyal
To apartheid and spilling blood
You put up walls, say just for us
And we smash them just because
No respect for rulers
500 youth in penitentiary
Don’t convince us that’s cool
BDS till we’re free
Oh ooh oh ohh
We’re bigger than we've ever been
And Palestine is getting free
Oh ooh oh ohh
Oppression has got a scare
Never again, anywhere
We’ll never be loyal
To apartheid and spilling blood
You put up walls, say just for us
And we smash them just because
We reject all rulers
And white supremacy
In life work and school, school school school
BDS till we’re free
I only know Palestine through stories
And grandma still knows the address, but it’s all gone now
Replaced with pine trees
What would you say if someone came in, took your house, put you in the bathroom
Controlled if you go in and out, decided they could bomb you
Would you not care - if other people said they heard you scream
That’s why we use our power
Boycott divest sanction israel
End the occupation end this brutal hell
To be clear
We won’t allow these systems there or here
And we’ll never be loyal
To apartheid and spilling blood
You put up walls, say just for us
And we smash them just because
We reject all rulers
And white supremacy
In life work and school (school school school)
