Arab children,<br />Corn ears of the future,<br />You will break our chains,<br />Kill the opium in our heads,<br />Kill the illusions.<br />Arab children,<br />Don't read about our suffocated generation,<br />We are a hopeless case.<br />We are as worthless as a water-melon rind.<br />Dont read about us,<br />Dont ape us,<br />Dont accept us,<br />Dont accept our ideas,<br />We are a nation of crooks and jugglers.<br />Arab children,<br />Spring rain,<br />Corn ears of the future,<br />You are the generation<br />That will overcome defeat.
