lyrics

"When"

In the largest open air prison in the world
Gaza Palestine, there’s a little girl
Her name is Nadeen, she’s only 10
And she lives in the rubble like her family and friends
“We're just dying.” she said, airstrikes on civilians
In her densely populated home of 2 million
No clean water, food, electricity or medication
Under the iron fist of an illegal occupation
Conditions most don't even want to believe
It keeps getting worse, they can never leave
And what did they do wrong? What crime did they commit?
This brutal apartheid, they were born into it
But that’s all complicated, that’s what we were taught
I submit to you my friend, no the fuck it’s not
What’s so complicated about dropping bombing little kids?
And watching white phosphorus liquify their skin?
Taking out hospitals, houses refugee camps, schools & shelters, whatever bombs could reach
Shireen Abu Akleh, the USS Liberty, Rachel Corrie, shooting 4 kids for playing ball on the beach
Now 5 million refugees no one will let in
A stack of condemnations from the UN
And every international humanitarian NGO
But it still continues because of the US veto
For 50 some years a just resolution denied
The whole world votes in favor, the US on the other side
While we fund the occupation 4 billion a year
But the truth is, that most of it has to be spent here
On weapons, that’s what’s really going on
A military base, a live arms show, a grift
A con, it's intertwined with our prison complex
They train our shitbag cops, and it’s all blank checks
Lining a regional nuclear superpower’s pockets
That equates one-ton bombs with bottle rockets
Her name is Nadeen, she’s only 10
Ask yourself, if not now, then when?
