Nobody Knows

Explosions on the street in Palestine

and the pieces of one fool's ticket to paradise

float above the holy land's sad song

and nobody knows which way it goes,

nobody knows where it's gone.

That old shell game with oil in the play --

who's got it, what's it worth today?

Don't look at the price tag too long

because nobody knows which way it goes,

nobody knows where it's gone.

The desert blooms with gunfire and rage

and some of the holy men, they say

"It's God's will for this killing to go on

so the one who does the killing can't be wrong"

and the king doesn't care which square his pawn lands on

and nobody knows which way it goes,

nobody knows where it's gone.
