Gaza is not Vegas

Verse 1

Lines on maps are fiction

Drawn with careless hands

Concrete borders harden

Empires make their stand

Pavement cracked by fire

Walls that never mend

Children counting sirens

Wonder if it ends

Chorus

Gaza is not Vegas

No neon dream in the sand

No glimmering jackpot

Just dust and broken plans

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Verse 2

Sirens wake the morning

Concrete open grave

Lifelines tangled, torn

Nobody's here to save

Pre-Chorus

What you see on the news, a filter from afar

But nothing flickers gold when hope is just a scar

Chorus

Gaza is not Vegas

No neon dream in the sand

No glimmering jackpot

Just dust and broken plans

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Bridge

Stories twisted by distance

Truth is barbed and cold

History repeats itself

For silver, votes, and gold

Broken promises echo

Through alleys thick with smoke

Every moment is borrowed

Every promise revoked

Chorus

Gaza is not Vegas

No neon dream in the sand

No glimmering jackpot

Just dust and broken plans

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh
