This is dedicated to the brave Palestinian freedom riders who, today, November 15th, 2011, tried to ride the bus to Jerusalem, that is only accessible for Israelis.
Sing along!
The wheels on the bus go round and round
round and round
round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
all through the town
That is if you are a Jewish guy
or a Jewish girl
in a settlement
If you're a Muslim,
a Palestinian guy
you can't ride this bus!
The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep
beep beep beep
beep beep beep
The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep
all through the town
The police on the bus say
get off now, get off now, get off now
The soldiers on the bus say
get off now
if you're not a Jew
The driver on the bus says
tickets please, tickets please, tickets please
The driver on the bus says tickets please
all through the town
The Palestinians on the bus are led away
led away led away
The Palestinians on the bus are led away
for daring to get on!
To my Palestinian brothers and sisters: May you have the continued courage to try to ride the bus.
To my Israeli brothers and sisters: Stand up for justice, and protest the separation laws. You can ride the bus; support the Palestinians' rights to do so as well.
Enough discrimination, enough oppression, enough Occupation.
