The Cure - Killing An Arab (2:22) ~ Brio deparis, 2012-12-11
This is not an anti-Semitic nor anti-Arab song, though it might seem like it. It was inspired by the existentialist Albert Camus novel "The Stranger". Footage: Luchino Visconti's "The Stranger". Album: "Boys Don't Cry".

Love this song, love the album.
Fire in Cairo is an amazing song from this album too!
A lot of songs from this era were very political. Another is The Clash's - Rock the Casbah, my parents had no idea what the song was about until I explained it to them and they were the ones who introduced me to it and were listening to it in their youth lol.
The video says everything. These three songs are like the holy trinity that got me into and exploring late 70's /80's music.
