Six Days
At the starting of the weekAt summit talks you hear them speak
It's only Monday
Negotiations breaking down
See those leaders start to frown
It's sword and gun day
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
You could be sitting taking lunch
The news will hit you like a punch
It's only Tuesday
You never thought we'd go to war
After all the things we saw
It's April Fools' day
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
You hear a whistling overhead
Are you alive or are you dead?
It's only Thursday
You feel a shaking on the ground
A billion candles burn around
Is it your birthday?
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Make tomorrow come I think it's too late
100 people dead in Gaza, most of them civilians. Bloodied pictures of Palestinian children lying on makeshift hospital beds. More of the same in the papers. The sensational photos, the underwhelming responses from politicans, all more of the same. Israel threatens Gaza with another "Holocaust". Mahmood Abbas withdraws from peace talks, a good move to show some backbone and not accede to Israeli aggression? Or a bad move that will set the peace process back further? Condoleeza Rice says "I understand that it has been a very difficult circumstance, innocent people should not have to die". Understatement of the century. Will anything ever change?
Tomorrow is another day
Today is another bomb
