Gimme Hope, O Bibi

We should never lose hope, even in the face of the worst possible adversity. The is a remake of Eddy Grant's anti-apartheid classic, sadly, i did not have to change much of the lyrics to make it up to date. History repeating itself. However, as MLK famously said: 'The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.'  So let's continue to speak up, to sing and to hope that the course of Bibi is changed, and that peace and justice will prevail. Free Palestine.

 

 Lyrics

Well Bibi he runs a country
In Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
He makes a few of his people happy oh
He don't care about the rest of them 

He’s got a system we call Apartheid
It keeps a brother in subjection
But maybe pressure will make ol’ Bibi see 
How everybody could live as one 

[CHORUS] 
Gimme hope o Bibi, 
Hope o Bibi 
Gimme hope o Bibi 
'Fore the morning come 

Gimme hope o Bibi, 
Hope o Bibi 
Hope before the morning come 

His uncle Sam gives him all the money 
to buy new weapons and just go wild 
While every mother in Gaza fears 
The killing of another child 

Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders 
Playing his game of bomb and hide 
He doesn't care if the fun and games he plays 
amount to genocide 

 [CHORUS] 

 He's got supporters in high up places 
Who hide his crimes behind hypocrisy 
They suppress all of the objections 
And pretend it's a democracy 

They even know how to swing opinion
In the court rooms and the journals
For every bad move that this ol’ Bibi makes
They got an explanation 

[CHORUS] 

And the preachers who preach the Bible 
They want a war for the Holy Land 
But this land will not be holy, no 
Until injustice is forever banned 

I wanna know if you're blind ol’ Bibi 
You wanna hear the sound of drums 
Can't you see that the tide is turning, oh 
Don't make me wait till the morning come 

[CHORUS]
