Damir Niksic: "If I wasn't muslim"
A sarcastic song about being bosnian muslim in Europe surrounded by christians neighbours. Here are the lyrics:IF I WASN'T MUSLIMIf I wasn't MuslimYa ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.If I wasn't born MohammedanLife for me would have been fun.I could live and prosperOn my land and I could even build a bigger houseI wouldn't have to, every now and then,Run and hide like a mouse.If I wasn't MuslimYa ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.My neighbors wouldn't set my home on fireAnd surround me with barbed wireI wouldn't live in terrorYa ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.Books wouldn't teach you that I was an errorIn European history.Ref:I would not have to prove that I am not stupidA backward and primitive villainAn alien threat to your way of lifeto be hunted down.I wouldn't be so ashamed ofThe names of my relatives and mineOf the Semitic language I speak to my GodThat no one here understandsMy tradition wouldn't insultMy Christian neighbors and friendsMy diet, my cap, the Ramadan fastthe crescent and the star.Bayram, I know, will never be famouslike Christmas or Easter Sundayso modern and cool, so western,and - oh so "secular".If I wasn't MuslimIf I had an ordinary Slavic Christian nameIf I wasn't circumcisedIf I could eat my eggs with hamI would be acceptedYa ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.I'd blend in to Europe and enjoyI wouldn't be its whipping boy.-- oh boy --If I were a ChristianI wouldn't have to prove that I am human too.'Cause when you're Christian you're always civilizedno matter what you wear or do.But when you are a MuslimIt is really hard to find some sympathy for youNo one really likes you, no one really caresNo one wants to know your point of view.If I wasn't MuslimYa ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.If I was a part of ChristendomEurope would be my sweet home.I wouldn't have to worryYa ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum.What will happen in a year or twoWill I have to leave or stay and dieDrop my pants to be identified and put asideJust 'cause I'm a Mussulman?
