I was here first!

No I was!

No I was!

It’s mine!

No! it’s mine!

No! it’s mine!

 

I dare you to cross this line!

I double dare you to cross it!

I double double dare you!

I to the nth dare you!

I to the nth plus one dare you!

 

My God can beat up your God!

No he can’t!

Yes he can!

No he can’t!

 

Yaweh!

Allah!

Yaweh!

Allah!

 

Nyah nya nyah nyah nyah!

 

You started it!

No! You did!

No You!

No!

Yes!

No!

Yes!

 

I killed you!

No! I killed you!

No! I killed you first!

I fixed myself up and killed you back!

No you didn’t!

Yes!

 

A plague upon both our houses!

Let us bomb each other back to prehistory!

Let us take an eye for an eye until everyone is blind!

So no one sees the children die!

So no one sees the women die!

So no one sees the men die!

So no one sees that blood is blood

intermingling in the sand.

 

Whose it is

no one sees

no one knows 

and

 

 

no end

no end!
