cary swinney - joey, abdul and me كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
oh, joey reads the torah
on an old stone road downtown
in the middle of jerusalem
where the black robes drag the ground
where on sunday he’s a soldier
he’s a shooter for the man
he stands guard down on the border
and protects his promised land
but there are no wise men present
there are none left to be found
just a couple of back seat drivers
tryin’ to make their way downtown

[verse 2]
ol’ abdul is a man from lebanon
who likes to hang out on the streets
he says hooray for g_y old palestine
and he’s fast upon his feet
where with afternoon comes boredom
so he gathers up some stones
and he creeps down to the border
and sneaks a peek around that zone
and he watches for the cameras
and when they begin to roll
he pulls his scarf up to his eyeb_lls
rares his arm back and starts to throw, oh no
[verse 3]
nowadays no one is distracted
by the presence of the sun
the simple beauty of the universe
i guess there’s fighting to be done
to me, it feels a little foreign
to me, it’s hard to comprehend
that some five thousand odd years later
that same war has yet to end
it’s like waitin’ for the buzzards
’cause you know they’re gonna come
it’s like lookin’ past some n_z_ railroad track
to the same jerusalem

[verse 4]
so i sit beside this bar ditch
and watch you lubbockites roll by
with my pencil and my paper
and my sandwich by my side
and i write about dissension
in a far and foreign land
another pampered north american
who truly does not understand
but i admire my rusty chevy
on a starry afternoon
she’s a three_on_the_tree, i do believe
a 1970 malibu, oh, she’s a beauty
