Cure, The - Killing An Arab Lyrics






Standing on the beach
With a gun in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring down the barrel
At the arab on the ground
I can see his open mouth
But I hear no sound

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab

I can turn
And walk away
Or I can fire the gun
Staring at the sky
Staring at the sun
Whichever I chose
It amounts to the same
Absolutely nothing

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab

I feel the steel butt jump
Smooth in my hand
Staring at the sea
Staring at the sand
Staring at myself
Reflected in the eyes
Of the dead man on the beach
The dead man on the beach

I'm alive
I'm dead
I'm the stranger
Killing an arab

    racisty

  2. G.... L....

    Wtf I'm 16 and I dont understand why people say this is bad music. This is absolutely amazing

  3. t.... s....

    Am I the only person who thinks the lyrics sound a bit cheesy- the actual song isn't too spectacular either.

  4. S.... ....

    I'm an arab from ISRAEL and I love ALBERT CAMUS even though he wrote in his autobiography that he hates muslim people

  5. A.... R....

    Nonetheless

  6. s.... p....

    L'étranger d'albert camus

  7. G.... G....

    Its song protest.

  8. M.... R....

  9. R.... S....

    I am actually surprised and happy to have found this here on youtube since it seems that all of the music streaming services have banned this song because of all of the triggered, sensitive snowflakes that don't take the time to understand the song and it's context. You see, a friend and I are trying to educate here daughter about music and we have been building playlists for her and this is the only place I can find this song.

  10. H.... ....

    Aujourd’hui, maman est morte.

  11. l.... a....

    I could less if it's "racist" or not.

  12. J.... H....

    The cure matando in arabe awuevo

  13. r.... d....

    I'm going to make a song about killing a white person with better lyrics than this stupid one but the media will call me a terrorist :(

    r.... d....

    This is based of a book though...

  14. C.... M....

    Lol...not "Killing another"...

  15. M.... D....

    Always been a very talented lad..were almost same age
    And look alike ...i emulated him in 80's

  16. S.... G....

    Why ain’t this on Apple Music??

  17. T.... S....

    My first concert, at 16, from belgium 👋

  18. E.... a....

    Wow! Just came here cause I was watching a video about songs on literature. That's interesting

  19. S.... T....

    It is from Camus opus "l'etranger'". But dudes come on if it was titled killing a jew wld it be less acceptable?

    S.... T....

    You're right, it was a poor title choice

  20. J.... B....

    Dédicace à madame bonne

  21. N.... G....

    Amazing first single

  22. A.... H....

    I just love the bouncy bass line. Catchy track

  23. K.... E....

    1,000 Muslims disliked this. 😂😂😂

    K.... E....

    Ahaha fuck jews

  24. C.... B....

    love his song

  25. e.... c....

    Anyone here before getting drafted to fight WWIII in Iran?

  26. A.... d....

    Yeah big fat guts.... Beer drinkers have more guts

  27. p.... ....

    me if ww3 happens

    p.... ....

    Iranians are persians not arabs

  28. S.... S....

    Hate of Arabs and Muslims is punished by God not by Arabs, an Australian went on shooting live ammo on a Muslim mosque in New Zealand and now his country Australia is burned down by God.Why New Zealand is not on fire ?? New Zealand respected the Arabs who are Gods guests

    S.... S....

    Lol just because your mom and dad are brother and sister Muslim boy

  29. D.... ....

    This is processed

  30. T.... T....

    Trump's favorite song Jan 2020.

    T.... T....

    @Brawndo CEO he does now....ha ha...so does Iran....about to make my video....cause and effect 276.

  31. l.... c....

    The song is inspired by Camus' novel 'The Outsider'...check it out

  32. S.... S....

    I can also write an essay about killing Jews in Palestine and say it’s not racist at all because it’s legit cause Jews invaded Palestine and still killing civilians

    S.... S....

    Sami mate I agree, could I introduce you to something called materialism though?

    S.... S....

    Evan Richards I totally agree ! It’s the same logic of the author killing an Arab .. at least he should have named it killing an Algerian... but no , maybe it’s more lucrative otherwise. Racism is lucrative but destructive and French are extremely racist and France has huge problems because of it, been to Paris lately ...

  33. S.... S....

    If I could know where this bastard who wrote this song lives ...Camus died of a car accident God made him pay for the damage this song did

    S.... S....

    Grand Theft Rondo this is why Camus died of a Car accident , God punished him for his hatred! God killed the two faced guy who wrote this shit .

    S.... S....

    Sami SA.M Hatred? Did you even read?

    S.... S....

    Grand Theft Rondo the guy was a hypocrite... what was in his heart was different from what he wrote, different from what he says . I don’t trust the French

    S.... S....

    @Grand Theft Rondo fuck off

    S.... S....

    @Sami SA.M god is the most hateful thing. Fuck it, religion is the most hateful thing in society.

  34. G.... G....

    I couldn't understand somthing

  35. A.... S....

  40. G.... D....

  50. A.... k....

  61. l.... j....

    My father showed me this song some time ago. I read camus' book and then i thought of this song so i came here to see if it really is any connection and i'm glad

  62. E.... R....

    I didn't know the cure were Jewish zionists lol (as opposed to non zionist jews). You should read the last few pages of the bible and see what jesus said about the jews going to hell by the way lol. Incidentally would a jewish Jesus preach the jews to stop being jews and the jews claim jesus is not among their people? Guess you notice where I'm heading now...facts from the Bible. Lol funny.

    E.... R....

    Errrrrrr, no.... You should read L'Etranger by Albert Camus and realise what this song is *actually* about...

  63. w.... t....

    Long live goth...... CBGGs NYC

    Cant find this on Spotify... with todays society I wonder why.... censorship sucks

  75. B.... S....

    When you walk into a mosque in new Zealand

  76. B.... D....

    Hm, the song is still here? Hm, not for too long guys.
    Soon you would have to explain this synergy on the Stranger and the Cure to the department of truth.
    Leftist and their witch hunts, no ONE TOUCHES YOUR GOD DAMN ARABS, YOU SHITTY BRAIN POLICE.
    ABSURD KILLS.

  77. n.... ....

    This has aged SO POORLY

  78. W.... J....

    Preferred song of Donald Trump....I saw him at a Cure Concert...

  79. C.... S....

    Yeah, it's about a book. It's about growing up with the Cure, you overly sensitive asswipes. Standing on a Beach was one of the best compilations of singles and b sides ever. And ya just had to ruin that, didn't you?!

  80. f.... y....

    Esto es punk en su maximo nivel

  81. S.... E....

    Awesome song.. YouTube

  82. M.... M....

    My mum tells me not to listen to billie eilish. So i asked her who she used to listen to. She said this song. I proved my point to her. BAM i win

    E.... T....

    This song is better than anything Billie Eilish has ever made.

    E.... T....

    @Daniel Demaras Omg no. People have different song preferences and thats MY opinion

    E.... T....

    @Ella Tom this is a song about existentialism set to an oriental guitar riff, Billie Eilish sings hot topic slogans over dark Megan Trainor beatsm

    E.... T....

    Ella Tom bitch be comparing an overrated emo girl with the cure lmao

  86. S.... s....
