Resistance Song

My friends and I were hanging

Just passing the time

Until we could get out of this place

And start the race

Of our lives

And find our wives

Then the invader came around

Claiming he owned our grounds

Where he found much oil

And found strategic control

Of the region surrounding ours

But we were always surrounded

By our brothers and sisters

And other members of our family

So we took up arms

And for some time abandoned

Our quest for wives

We bloodied the occupier

With stones, bombs, bullets and swords

We had to forsake our own notions

Of their humanity

To enable the slaughter required

Someday we will have to atone to God

For these crimes

However necessary they might be

Till then

We will fight
