As Princess Madonna prepared to sell out her alleged love for Palestinians by appearing ($1 million for 2 songs) at Israel’s captured festival “Eurovision,” I wrote this version and got the distinguished Israeli-American singer Danielle Alma Ravitsky to belt it out.
They are not ok
If they’re songwashing settler land grabs
I just walk away
To invite me guess they must be
Desperately seeking branding
To sing worldwide for apartheid
That’s not where I’m standing
Cause we are
Living in an imperial world
But I am no imperial girl
You know that we are
living in an imperial world
But I am no imperial girl
Roger Waters, Lorde and Lauren
Hill will not be singing
If I cross that picket line
More massacres they’re bringing
(I) instagrammed for cease-fi-er
We’ve got to save the children
I even posted years ago that
“I love Palestinians”
and we are
Living in an imperial world
But I am no imperial girl
(You know that we are)
living in an imperial world
But I am no imperial girl
A billionaire will pay one mill
For a two song intermission
And glory be I can’t conceive of that much narcissism
I won’t sing for a thing that really is
State terrorism
I won’t put a pretty face on their expansionism
cause we are
Living in an imperial world
But I am no imperial girl
You know that we are
living in an imperial world
But I am no imperial girl
