Hinterlist

Decaying stench lies over the city
Where the bloodbath took place
With Israel's blessing came the Phalangists
Women and children were on their lists

What's with the outcry
It's just the way it is
They were all terrorists
The PLO
What's with the outcry
It's just the way it is
They were just terrorists
The PLO

In Sabra & Shatila the same pious killers
Begin and Sharon greet contentedly with Shalom
No questions asked about guilt and atonement
Slaughter is back in vogue

The Holocaust credit has long been spent
They have long eyed our pity
If they see mass murder as politics
The bombastic revenge is all too understandable

Then there may be an outcry
But that's just the way it is
That's the open account
The PLO
Then there may be an outcry
But that's just the way it is
That's the bombastic receipt
The PLO
