text: Young Abdel Madi Shabneh was only eighteen years old
  He was the youngest of nine children
  Hed never spent a night away from home
  And his mother held his photograph up in the New York Times
  You see the killing has intensified along the road to peace
  He was a tall thin boy with a wispy moustache
  Disguised as an Orthodox Jew
  On a crowded bus in Jerusalem, some had survived World War II
  And the thunderous explosion blew out windows 200 yards away
  More retribution and seventeen dead along the road to peace
  Now at King George Avenue and Jaffa Road
  Passengers boarded bus 14A
  In the aisle next to the driver, Abdel Madi Shabneh
  The last thing that he said on Earth was God is great and God is good
  And he blew them all to kingdom come upon the road to peace
  Now in response to this, another kiss of death was visited upon
  Yashir Tehah, Israel says is an Hamas Senior militant
  Israel sent four choppers in, flames engulfed his white Opel
  And it killed his wife and his three-year-old child
  Leaving only blackened skeletons
  They found his toddlers bottle and a pair of small shoes
  And they waved them in front of the cameras
  But Israel said they did not know that his wife and child were in the car
  There are roadblocks everywhere and only suffering on TV
  Neither side will ever give up their smallest right along the road to peace
  Israel launched its latest campaign against Hamas on Tuesday
  Two days later Hamas shot back and killed five Israeli soldiers
  Though thousands dead and wounded on both sides
  Most of them Middle Eastern civilians
  They fill their children full of hate to fight an old mans war
  And die upon the road to peace
  This is our land, we will fight with all our force,
  Say the Palestinians and the Jews
  And each side will cut off the hand of anyone who tries to stop the resistance
  If the right eye offends thee, then you must pluck it out
  And Mahmoud Abbas and Sharon had been lost
  Out along the road to peace
  Once Kissinger said, We have no friends, America only has interests
  And now our President wants to be seen as a hero
  And hes hungry for re-election
  But Bush is reluctant to risk his future with the fear of his political failures
  So he plays chess at his desk and poses for the press
  Ten thousand miles from the road to peace
  In a video that they found at the home of Abdel Madi Shabneh
  He held a Kalashnikov rifle and he spoke with a voice like a boy
  He was an excellent student, he studied so hard
  It was as if he had a future
  He told his mother that he had a test that day
  Out along the road to peace
  The fundamentalist killing on both sides is standing in the path of peace
  But tell me why are we arming the Israeli army
  With guns and tanks and bullets?
  And If God is great and God is good
  Why cant he change the hearts of men?
  Well maybe God himself is lost and needs help
  Maybe God himself, he needs all of our help
  Maybe God himself is lost and needs help
  Hes out upon the road to peace
  Maybe God himself is lost and needs help
  Maybe God himself needs all of our help
  And hes lost upon the road to peace
  And hes lost upon the road to peace
  Out upon the road to peace
