But it's a bit old so now it's not shown in Danish music programs any more.
Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
You don't see a damn thing
'cause you can't relate to me
You're blinded by our differences
My life makes no sense to you
I'm the persecuted one
You're the red, white and blue
Each day you wake in tranquility
No fears to cross your eyes
Each day I wake in gratitude
Thanking God He let me rise
You worry about your education
And the bills you have to pay
I worry about my vulnerable life
And if I'll survive another day
Your biggest fear is getting a ticket
As you cruise your Cadillac
My fear is that the tank that has just left
Will turn around and come back
Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows
Has our world gone all blind?
Do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Someone tell me...
Ooohh, let's not cry tonight
I promise you one day it's through
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters
See I've known terror for quite some time
57 years so cruel
Terror breathes the air I breathe
It's the checkpoint on my way to school
Terror is the robbery of my land
And the torture of my mother
The imprisonment of my innocent father
The bullet in my baby brother
The bulldozers and the tanks
The gases and the guns
The bombs that fall outside my door
All due to your funds
You blame me for defending myself
Against the ways of my enemies
I'm terrorized in my own land
But am I the terrorist?
Yet, do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows
Has our world gone all blind?
Do you know the truth of where your money goes?
Do you let your media deceive your mind?
Is this a truth nobody, nobody, nobody knows?
Someone tell me...
Ooohh, let's not cry tonight, I promise you one day it's through
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,
America, do you realize that the taxes that you pay
Feed the forces that traumatize my every living day
So if I won't be here tomorrow
It's written in my fate
May the future bring a brighter day
The end of our wait
(pause)
Ooohh, let's not cry tonight, I promise you one day it's through
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,
Ooohh, shine a light for every soul that ain't with us no more
Ohh my brothers, Ohh my sisters,
Ohh let's not cry tonight I promise you one day is through
Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!
Ooh shine a light for every Soul that ain't with us no more
Ohh my brothers! Ohh my sisters!
I have for very long time suspected Outlandish to be extremely anti-Israeli and anti-American and it was pretty much confirmed when they in a television show were asked if they planned to try hit in USA. To this they said something like "maybe, but really, here in Denmark we are this much (showing it with the hands a big space between) but over there you are this small (showing it with one and a extrememly little space between the fingers)" and it was implied that in USA if you come as a foreigner you will not be treated as good as an american. Worst BS ever, every american I've known or spoken with has always viewed me as equal and have always been very positive and extremely helpful towards me as a foreigner. Much more than what I have experienced in Denmark were the petit bourgeois mentality dominate.
But seams like most anti-Isreali is really in full bloom now. Seams to be really BIG things that is going to happen soon...

LOL, Eyes.
I like that. Literally, if they asked me to invest in the destruction of these countries, I would send some more.
As long as I know it's going to a good cause.
DS,
Thanks for this. This is a big story. And, I think you are correct in you assessment; big things are going to happen soon.
FIRST OF ALL...the band is not arab...you see ppl condemning israel and u automatically assume they are arab....the group members consists of one pakistani,a moroccaen and the other guy is from honduras (he's catholic)...secondly, i dont see anything wrong with the video or thesong...no where did it attack a culture or religion...the group was just portraying their political views on the USA's policies towards the israeli-palestinian conflict, just as many of the North american and israeli media do against the palestinians....although i dont entirely agree with their views...i give them thumbs up...finally someone is willing to stand up against what is happening
Okey doke, my nuanced friend.

I don't think that what the band implied. Since they're a danish band, they're probally more popular in denmark then USA. I think thats what the band meant with the big space between the hands and small space between the fingers. And why tour in a country where you are not popular, they won't sell any concert tickets or albums. But who knows? Maybe someone should ask the band what they really meant with the hand gestures. Just an idea i put out there in the persuit of truth. Don't think anyone will try it though.
