Day Of The Jackal - Lindisfarne

My name is David, I live in Tel Aviv

I’m twelve years old, People call me Billy the Kid

My brother and my sister, are gone from my side

Lying together, for together they died

Chorus:

Everybody dance, do the berserker

Everybody dance, soldier and worker

Pray to the Lord, We can learn to live together somehow

For the day of the jackal is now.

My name is Ishmail, I live in Beirut

I’m twelve years old, but I know how to shoot

My father and mother, were both refugees

With a gun on their head, they died on their knees

Chorus:

Everybody dance, do the berserker

Everybody dance, soldier and worker

Pray to the Lord, We can learn to live together somehow

For the day of the jackal is now.

My name is God, or Allah if you choose

And I bring you despair, destruction and abuse

I give you your lands, and you name them after me

But you tear them apart, from the desert to the sea.

Chorus:

Everybody dance, do the berserker

Everybody dance, soldier and worker

Pray to the Lord, We can learn to live together somehow

For the day of the jackal is now.
