about

this song is about the opportunity of being in a friendship with an old Arab friend. those few words articulate the stress and enxiety of becomming a genuine naturaly born Israeli just looking forward to meet with his long lasting friend in the opposite side of the conflict.

lyrics

Friends with me | Roee Lavan

In this god forsaken land
There’s always a beef
There's a survival instinct
Followed with some grief
Your neighbors grass
Seems greener than yours
An awfully sad conflict
Filled with blame and remorse

We were born in this land
But raised differently
I'm a real friend
I hope you're friends with me.

What came first?
The chicken or the egg?
To whom this land was promised?
I really don't have to beg
For you to listen to me
Who cares what's his real name
Cause like buddy says
Underneath we’re all the same.

We were born in this land
But raised differently
I'm a real friend
I hope that you're friends with me.

Hebrew, Arab, Aramaic?
Same language different name
Moses, Moshe or Nabi Musa
Different language, same old name.
Doesn't matter what'cha wearin'
Doesn't matter what's his name
Like Buddy Guy says
Underneath we’re all the same.
