"If Arafat were alive" one hears this phrase increasingly often in conversations with Palestinians, and also with Israelis and foreigners.That seems to call for a song parody:
"If Arafat were alive, what's happening now in Gaza wouldn't be happening"--"If Arafat were alive, we would have somebody to talk with"--"If Arafat were alive, Islamic fundamentalism would not have won among the Palestinians and would have lost some force in the neighboring countries!"
O Palestine needs you
Abu Amar
Yasser could you please come home
Things are looking bad
I know you would be mad
To see your favorite men
Prevail upon the land you love
O Palestine's wondering
How we got here
Yasser all we get is lies
We’re gettin’ IEDs
Qassams and RPGs
From men who’d sell us out
To get themselves a piece of power
We’d love to hear you speak your mind
In plain and simple ways
Call a spade a spade
Like you did back in the days
You'd wear your Keffiyeh
And flash that famous smile
Speak of what was going down
With honesty and style
The PLO's calling
Abu Amar
Yasser you know what to do
The world is turnin’ round and losin’ lots of ground
Oh Yasser is there something we can do to save the land we love
Oh woah woah woah
The PLO's calling
Abu Amar
Yasser you know what to do
The world is turnin’ round
And losin’ lots of ground
Yasser is there something we can do to save the land we love
Oh
Yasser is there something we can do to save the land we love
Yasser
Yasser is there something we can do to save the land we love
