Out Of Nowhere
04:48

This didn’t come out of nowhere
Digging, searching, puzzling, wondering
Why would anybody do
Something so aggressive, harmful to them
Flying, grabbing, snatching, shooting
Taking human prisoners
What can be the meaning of this chaos?
This didn’t come out of nowhere
This didn’t come out of nowhere
Flying, grabbing, snatching, shooting
Taking human prisoners
What can be the meaning of this chaos?
Seventy-six
Years ago
That’s when this fight
Started
And to pretend
It just began
That would be fool-hearted

Shock & Awe
03:30
|
|||
Retaliation for the quick frustration that somehow the army was not there
Spinning a web of lies from the beginning, the sources were never honest
Time for shock and awe
Time for shock and awe
How long have these plans been set and waiting for a convenient time for unfolding?
The response was so much bigger than that which provoked it that this raises questions
Time for shock and awe
Time for shock and awe
Bomb and kill into submission
Bomb and kill into submission
Make them wish for death
Make them wish
Starve and choke into submission
Starve and choke into submission
Make them wish for death
Make them wish
Truth it
The truth it
The truth it
The truth it
The truth it
The truth it
The truth it
The truth it
It
Doesn’t matter
They have the guns
Doesn’t matter
They have the bombs
Retaliation for the quick frustration that somehow the army was not there
Spinning a web of lies from the beginning, the sources were never honest
Time for shock and awe

Who's Right?
03:20

Some have to ask
Some cannot see
Some cover their
Eyes
Some have to ask
Some cannot hear
Some cover their
Ears
Some have to ask
Some cannot think
Some turn off their
Brains
Some have to ask
Some cannot feel
Some turn off their
Hearts
Who’s right?
Who’s wrong?
Who’s right?
Who’s wrong?
Who’s right?
Who’s wrong?
Who’s right?
Who’s wrong?
Narrative bent
All out of shape
By those who killed
Most
History’s writ
By the winner
Who has the most
Guns
And so we cry
We are to blame
Death brought by our
Funds
Who’s right?
Who’s wrong?
Who’s right?
Who’s wrong?
Who’s right?
Who’s wrong?

Play The Victim
04:00
|
|||
You can’t call people animals
You can’t call people children of darkness
You can’t constantly dehumanize
And then play the victim
You can’t steal people’s homes
You can’t steal people’s livelihoods
You can’t steal people’s culture
And then play the victim
Insidious, the way it works
Tragic, the loss they’ve suffered
Historically, they’ve been demonized
But now they turn that hate on others
You can’t receive more funding
You can’t receive more weapons
You can’t displace millions
And then play the victim
Nobody in their right mind denies
The horrors of the Jewish Holocaust
But now we see a modern state
Founded, built on hate
You can’t commit war crimes
You can’t slaughter thousands
You can’t ignore the cries of your own
And then play the victim
The power dynamic between two cultures
One with endless foreign aid
An entire country waged war upon a city
Ending life for those it forced to live there
Israel has more power
Money, weapons, influence
An entire international lobby
To whitewash its crimes
Day after day, week after week
War crime after war crime
Leaders refuse to stand against them
For fear of being smeared anti-Semitic
Israel demonizes anyone
Who disagrees with its policies
Leaning farther right, extreme
More violent each passing hour
Nobody in their right mind denies
The horrors of the Jewish Holocaust
But now we see a modern state
Founded, built on hate

Judaism is not
Zionism
Zionism is not
Judaism
Israel would say
These are both the same
Jewish Voices for Peace
Help to lead the way
Jewish faith is based
On love, not on hate
Judaism is not
Zionism
Zionism is not
Judaism
Israel would say
These are both the same
Jewish Voices for Peace
Help to lead the way
The hate that we see flaunted
Does not represent most
Leaders spirits haunted
Channeling hateful ghosts
Corrupt leaders owned by
Multinational arms dealers
Pretend to speak for oppressed
But slaughter dispossessed
Judaism is not
Zionism
Zionism is not
Judaism
Israel would say
These are both the same
Jewish Voices for Peace
Help to lead the way
Fear inside their hearts
Solidarity threatens
All the rhetoric they use
Makes it an obvious ruse
Weaponizing victimhood
Common tactic that they choose
Cultural values shoved aside
Tokenize and then abuse
Judaism is not
Zionism
Zionism is not
Judaism
Israel would say
These are both the same
Jewish Voices for Peace
Help to lead the way

The Energy

Wake up to
See suffering
Your heart tells
You to help
First you feel
Energy
Then it turns
To fatigue
Seeing death
Hurts inside
And you want
To stop it
Pain inside
Means you feel
Don’t become
Numb to this
Innocents
Need our help
Keep fighting
Don’t give up
We can a-
chieve our goals
Although it
Takes so long
Gut wrenching
Seeing more
Children die
This must stop
Maintain your
Energy
We need to
Keep working
Maintain your
Energy
We need to
Keep working
Seeing death
Hurts inside
And you want
To stop it
Innocents
Need our help
Keep fighting
Don’t give up
Maintain your
Energy
We need to
Keep working
Maintain your
Energy
We need to
Keep working
Maintain your
Energy
We need to
Keep working

Why We Fight

Let us
Walk
So they
Can fly
Let us
Crawl
So they can soar
We fight for an end to apartheid
We fight for voices of the children
We fight for identity and roots
We fight for humanity
We fight for the future
We fight for the present
Let us
Fight
So they
Can have peace
Let us
Fall
So they
Can rise
We fight for an end to apartheid
We fight for voices of the children
We fight for history
We fight for life
We fight for futures
We fight for humanity

Slaughter
04:24
|
|||
Decades ago, it started
Suddenly, neighbors became
Dangerous enemies and
Displaced innocents
Gradual displacement carried
Out over many years
Supported by the powers
With the most weapons
Military might bolstered
By the United States
Illegal actions happened
Over and over
Pretending to be civil
Claiming intelligence
High morals, careful fighters
Their true colors show
Shooting and bombing innocents
Say the target was Hamas
Destroying hospitals
Can’t confirm efficacy
They destroy schools, and then they
Destroy bakeries, and then they
Destroy churches, and then
They blow up mosques
This is not a war
This is a slaughter
Thousands of kids are being
Killed with abandon and then
They claim they only have killed
Violent militants
Cutting off water, food, and
Electricity, and fuel
Somehow they argue that this
Is actually okay
Threaten two million people
That they must run from their homes
After they’d forced them to live
There in the first place
Innocent people being
Killed with abandon and then
Israel claims they’re only
Killing Hamas
This is not a war
This is a slaughter
This is not a war
This is a slaughter
Slaughtering the innocents
Slaughtering them all
Slaughtering the innocents
Slaughtering them all
Slaughtering the innocents
Slaughtering them all
Slaughtering the innocents
Slaughtering them all
Slaughtering
Slaughtering them all
Slaughtering
Slaughtering them all
Slaughtering
Slaughtering them all
Slaughtering
Slaughtering them all
They destroy schools, and then they
Destroy bakeries, and then they
Destroy churches, and then
They blow up mosques
Threaten two million people
That they must run from their homes
After they’d forced them to live
There in the first place
Thousands of kids are being
Killed with abandon and then
They claim they only have killed
Violent militants
This is not a war
This is a slaughter
This is not a war
This is a slaughter
This is not a war

The Beginning Of The End

So many dead
So many gone
Tragedy strikes
Sadness for all
Noone is pleased
Tragedy strikes
Who is to blame?
Who takes the reigns?
Who has power?
What will we do?
Bodies lay charred
Fourth degree burns
Doctors are stumped
What did these kids
Do to deserve
Being destroyed?
Who is to blame?
Who takes the reigns?
Who has power?
What will we do?
Body counts rising
Death all around
Thousands have been killed
Just from direct attacks
Children are being slaughtered!
Children are being slaughtered!
Millions are displaced
Forced from their refuges
By the same people
Who forced them to live there
Children are being slaughtered!
Children are being slaughtered!
So many lives
Being snuffed out
At a young age
So many dreams
Are being dashed
At a young age
Who is to blame?
Who takes the reigns?
Who has power?
What will we do?
More and more death
Each pas sing day
Who will stop it?
Shattering dreams
Shattering lives
Who will stop it?
Who is to blame?
Who takes the reigns?
Who has power?
What will we do?
This isn’t the only
Slaughter of innocents
But this is clearly
Hypocrisy
Children are being slaughtered!
Children are being slaughtered!
Historical victims
Weaponize their hatred
Occupying a people
Then bomb them to cinders
Children are being slaughtered!
Children are being slaughtered!
The time for change
Has come for Israel
The time for change
Has come for Israel
If you live within the borders of a nation
Built upon the blood of spilt indigenous
If you were recruited to move in as a settler
You don’t deserve to call it your native home
Reparations take time
Reparations take time
If you live within the borders of a nation
Built upon the blood of spilt indigenous
If you were recruited to move in as a settler
You don’t deserve to call it your native home
Reparations take time
Reparations take time
The time for change
Has come for Israel
The time for change
Has come for Israel
If you live within the borders of a nation
Built upon the blood of spilt indigenous
If you were recruited to move in as a settler
You don’t deserve to call it your native home
Reparations take time
Reparations take time
If you live within the borders of a nation
Built upon the blood of spilt indigenous
If you were recruited to move in as a settler
You don’t deserve to call it your native home
Reparations take time
Reparations take time
