lirik lagu jahosh - 4th of july in bed
[hook:]
we fall down
testing sounds
but we’re not down
we test these sounds
[verse 1: suheir hammad]
we spent the fourth of july
in bed
even now
walking girls are exploding legs
stepping on sh-lls of american hatred
left dug in iraqi soil
even now
malaysian girls choose
between the s-x trade
and hunger
filipinas go blind
constructing the computer disks
poems like this are saved on
even now
lover as we lay
in amazement
and if
baby as you say
my skin is the color
of sun-warmed sand
then you’re my moonless night
and we the beach
wet
tidal
all that good shhhhh…
wet
yet as we lay
shrapnel awakens pain
courtesy of the
eighties gun craze
to our generation
violence isn’t a phase
it’s the day today
and though my head is filled
with your sweetness now
this same head knows
nagasaki girls pick maggots out of stomach sores
with chopsticks
hiroshima mothers rock headless babies
this head knows palestinian youth
dead absorbing rubber bullets
homes demolished
trees uprooted
roots dispersed
this
same
head
with all them love songs
and husky whispers knows
as we lay
and love
our touch is not free
it comes with responsibility
even as we lay
in all this good feeling
people lay in dirt
vomit
sh-t and blood
and i gotta tell you
that my sincere love for real
is for my peeps
my family
humanity
for real freedom
well fed
human dignity baby
even as i open myself to share this
i gotta tell you
there ain’t enough good feelin
to push the pain and awareness out
not enough nothin’ to make me forget
and i ain’t no woman of steel
it feels needed
this kiss
that touch
there that
rhythm
needed
and wanted
now hold me
a little while longer
just a bit
cause we gotta get up soon
there’s a war on outside
come on now baby
we got work to do
[outro:]
to the flag of the united states of america
and to the republic for which it stands
one nation under god indivisible
liberty and justice for all!
[hook:]
