Rachel Corrie Lyrics - Ten Foot Pole

You heard of Rachel Coorie? 

The press won't tell her story 

Caught between a house and bulldozer 

She found out that Israel 

Hates gardens and it will kill 

Americans who help rebuild the Gaza Strip. 

Let's pretend that everything will be OK 

It's not our fault let's look the other way 

And go to films or dance lessons or baseball 

games at night 

and trust elected leaders to choose right 

I hurt for Rachel's father 

To bury his young daughter 

And her belief in human goodness 

He taught her to fight violence 

Now all that's left is silence 

And the memory of her dignity 

Let's pretend... 

Rachel I hope you find justice or even a 

Garden where anyone can grow some food in peace 

No guns, no need to fight. No poor, no black no white, 

Heaven, you deserve a break from misery
