People over people and fictitious kings, calling all the shots, pulling all the strings. On the median in the heat, begging for change and sleeping in the streets. Put on a stage and verbally abused, put in a costume while he feeds them their food. Degradation - how we cope. Degradation - we pass it along. Degradation - how we react. The war of the classes and the lines have been drawn. Degrade. Painfully losing while you assert your dominance. Bleeding and bruising while you flash your dominance.

“ I’ll never meet on your terms!” They said in twofaced parade “I don’t share your reliefs” “I don’t share your beliefs” Keep on building your walls – On fake borders and guard them with guns Keep on throwing those silly rocks – Instead of talking, fire more bombs You cannot stand the peace they seek – integrity is for the weak You cannot stand their holy land – because it’s yours to keep Bring up that conversation about history and gas chambers But you know that that’s so out of place here Build another wall – yet another wall (2x) Not with bricks but with muslim skulls Keep on building your walls – On fake borders and guard them with guns Keep on throwing those silly rocks – Instead of talking, Fire more bombs You’ll keep on throwing shit around and it never ends You’ll keep on throwing dirt around and it never-never ends You rather slit their throats than confessing you are wrong You rather slit your throat than confessing you are wrong Keep on building your walls – On fake borders and guard them with guns Keep on throwing those silly rocks – Instead of talking, Fire more bombs You’ll keep on throwing shit around and it never end. You’ll keep on throwing dirt around will it ever-ever end

In a silent room, the walls come crashing down. One minute thirty three seconds of sound to change my life forever. I knew that I would never be the same. I remember it like yesterday. Things seemed so simple but we were still angry. I could feel it deep inside my bones. We'd never ever be alone. Always has been, always will be the only thing ever made sense to me. I might be screaming at a wall, but I'll give it my all.

dalia never showed me nothing but kindness. she would say: “i know how sad you get. and some days, i still get that way, but it gets better. it gets better. it gets better. sweetie, it gets better, i promise you.” and she tells me: your heart is a muscle the size of your fist. keep on loving. keep on fighting. and hold on, and hold on, hold on for your life. ian built a cabin in the woods to live in. for years, terrifying noises kept him up at night with a twelve gauge under his pillow. he’s living in boston now, going to art school. i forgive him. i forgive him. hell, i’ll admit it: i’m proud of him. serena’s an architect and a carpenter. she’s such a feminist she says she isn’t one, because goddamn, my gender shouldn’t matter. and her motorcycle glides through the streets of providence, down to the warehouse district. the paint job is as stunning as her knowledge of medieval building techniques. your heart is a muscle the size of your fist. keep on loving. keep on fighting. and hold on, and hold on, hold on for your life. this one goes out to georgios. he knows how to dance. abby banks, your book is beautiful, and fuck anyone who says otherwise. scott, i love you and you make me glad to be alive. i promise that i’m gonna pay you back. you always know how funny everything is, even when i’m so serious that it’s gonna be the death of me. like the time that our friend chuck came over to our house. he said he needed somebody to take care of his pets, because he was going out of town. i asked him: “where?” and he said: “new mexico.” i asked if i could get a ride. he said: “no, you don’t want to follow me where it is that i’m going.” he pulled out of the drive way. that was the last time we saw him, because he drove straight to his parent’s cabin and put a bullet in his head. your heart is a muscle the size of your fist. keep on loving. keep on fighting. and hold on, and hold on, hold on for your life.

Israel acting so bad You think they're ever turning back? They ride their big tanks Over Gaza and the West Bank. And the US says it's fine Just don't cross over that line And if you do, we'll cover for you Don't worry. Apartheid is bad so why don't you boycott it? Teargas in the air They don't care, They love the smell of it. Guns against stones They bulldoze homes But BDS excites me. Come on, come on, come on Hang up on Motorola Come on come on come on I don't like Sabra hummus Come on come on come on Got no love for Ahava Come on come on come on Derail Veolia Occupation is a crime Apartheid is not divine I don't care what you call it Just hit them in their wallet Chorus. Oh, I love the feeling you bring to me Oh you turn me on It's exactly what I've been yearning for Give it to me strong Meet me at the border We'll all make the wall fall y'all I like it like it

about

This compilation is a benefit for the Tikkun Olam Documentary. It's kind-of, sort-of about Judaism, but not really. Less than half of the bands on this have anything to do with Judaism, and many bands don't even have a Jewish member.
