Rachel Corrie - Lyrics - Ten Foot Pole

Scared Straight was a punk band from Simi Valley, California. The band was formed in 1983 by a group of friends and was originally called S.O.F. Original members were Scott Radinsky, Mike Thompson, Gary Gallanes and Dennis Jagard, who started the band to enter a "Battle of the Bands" competition at a local skate rink. After going through several members and name changes, they began playing with some "Nardcore" bands from nearby Oxnard, California, which helped them gain recognition. All of the Scared Straight records were released by Mystic Records.

You heard of Rachel Coorie? The press won't tell her story Caught between a house and bulldozer She found out that Israel Hates gardens and it will kill Americans who help rebuild the Gaza Strip. Let's pretend that everything will be OK It's not our fault let's look the other way And go to films or dance lessons or baseball games at night and trust elected leaders to choose right I hurt for Rachel's father To bury his young daughter And her belief in human goodness He taught her to fight violence Now all that's left is silence And the memory of her dignity Let's pretend... Rachel I hope you find justice or even a Garden where anyone can grow some food in peace No guns, no need to fight. No poor, no black no white, Heaven, you deserve a break from misery
