Chords Used:
[slow part]
Oh! Oliver Boy what did you do?
But crush the hand you never shook
Then rob the rights of people to be free
Oh! Oliver Boy it s a terrible state
You left behind a worse off race
Where dignity and pride fought for their place
Oh! Oliver Boy now you are gone
And we re still here where we belong
Forgiveness being our strength you ll never see
[slow part over]
Now the sun shines on this page I write
Though it s raining hard in Palestine
No lands are promised lands
When will we see?
[]
So don t tell me that your God s my God
I don t think they even care at all
Just a pantomime behind a curtain lies de-ceit
Oh listen to me bark out loud
With-out a voice and little growl
Snapping at the heels I wait
For something more to change
Dm [fades directly into Chorus]
The more they stay the same
[Chorus 1]
Oliver Boy! It s the same militia
Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different
Oliver Boy! It s the same old story
Where there s blood there s death not glory
Look into these empty eyes
Fed upon by parasites
As beauty s ugly head devours its plight
[]
While the borders of our hate create
Nothing more than each our fate
Trapped between our comfort and our crime
So stand along the graveyard wall
And watch the souls per-form their song
Sing to us the dead above
As the mourners come to pray
The living stay away
[Chorus 2]
Oliver Boy! It s the same militia
Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different
Oliver Boy! It s the same old story
Where there s blood there s death not glory
Oliver Boy! We re all someone s sons
All of our Boys! Just put down the guns
Oliver Boy! You re dead but listen
You were wrong but we re no diffe-rent
[Solo - not figured out]
Marching to the left, everyone in step
Don t ask the question, why we re here with no direction
Marching to the right, this is not our fight
The curse of friction, born of man and contradiction
[Chorus 2]
All of our Boys!
[slow part]
Now the sun shines on this page I write
Though it s raining hard in Pales-tine
Enjoy!
