Palestine

Whack-a-Mole

We’re shooting Gazans, that’s our goal
It’s target practice, not a game
Take aim and fire and…Whack-a-Mole!

There, over by the water hole
Hey some we kill and some we maim
We’re shooting Gazans, that’s our goal

Like skinny fishes in a shoal
All move as one and look the same
Take aim and fire and…Whack-a-Mole!

A few grains in an empty bowl
Is that for what these mothers came?
We’re shooting Gazans, that’s our goal

She’s running, that won’t save her soul
In vain, and shouting Allah’s name
Take aim and fire and…Whack-a-Mole!

We’re IDF, that’s how we roll
For Israel, and Bibi’s fame
We’re shooting Gazans, that’s our goal
Take aim and fire and…Whack-a-Mole!

Because Hamas

Netanyahu didn’t give
A fuck. ‘Because Hamas!’ he cried
‘The children don’t deserve to live!
Because Hamas the people died!’

And Netanyahu didn’t care
What other countries said or did
His bombs kept falling from the air
On top of where the children hid

‘Because Hamas it is they fall
This isn’t genocide, this war
Is justified, if crime at all
It is because Hamas!’ he swore

‘That from the river to the sea
The Holy Land belongs to me’
