The People's Cube - Political Satire

Oh my... I so love those old anthems from my socialist youth

Yet another Islamic history lesson brought to you by yet another one-hit wonder rock band. This song was featured, BTW, in the 1970's anti-Camp-David-Accords film, "The Trial of Mullah Barrack"


ONE GRIM PROPHET

Listen, Arabs to a hadeeth
That was uttered long ago
By a man come from a mountain
To Medinan folk below
In Medina were two Jew tribes
Driven out, for they did spurn
All the teachings of the Prophet
Yet they vowed they would return

Go ahead and love the Zi'nists
Go ahead and be their friend
Do it in the name of world peace
We'll all pay for it in the end
There won't be any white doves floating
O'er the pit of fire
On the blazing morning after
One grim Prophet vents his ire

So the children of the Jew tribes
Came to reclaim Palestine
And this shocked the Arab people
Jewish plot they did malign
Came an answer from the Jew tribes
With all Arabs we will share
All the freedoms of our nation
All the bounty developed there

Now the Arabs were rejoicing
No more hardship, peaceful path
They embraced the Jewish people
Soon to earn al Mahdi's wrath
Now came rain and winds of fire
To make the Living envy Dead
And Al Mahdi came before them ..

Kill the Jews .. was all he said

Go ahead love the Zi'nists
Go ahead and be as friends
Do it in the name of World Peace
We'll all pay for it in the end
There won't be any white doves floating
O'er the pit of Flame
On the blazing morning after
One grim Prophet fixes blame

Go ahead and loves the Zi'nists
Go ahead and be their friend
Do it in the name of World Peace
You can damn well fry in the end
There'll be a bunch of white doves frying
O'er the blazing fire
On the burning morning after
One grim Prophet vents his ire

Oh, BTW, Comradina, most pleasingly equal.

"...There won't be any white doves floating
O'er the pit of fire
On the blazing morning after
One grim Prophet vents his ire..."

I love those lines Comrade Callmelennie. Your song is excellently written.
