COWARDS by DISPLEASURE
FUNDRAISER
This song is a rebuke of the "leaders" of Western governments who have not just turned their eyes away from the Gaza genocide over the last two years, but have been actively complicit through financial and military support for Israel and squashing dissent at home. They are cowards, too scared to challenge Israel and the US. Their inaction will never be forgiven.
The song also features the voice of the late poet, educator, activist and martyr, Refaat Al-Areer. His voice has been used with permission from his brother, Adel Al-Areer, and all proceeds from this single will go to his family via this fundraiser: https://chuffed.org/project/109350-safety-and-medical-care-for-al-areer-children

Lyrics
Can you comprehend such pain?
Can you comprehend the number slain?
Can you comprehend the stain?
On our conscience, on our conscience
… on our conscience
Entire population plunged into hell
And opposition is controversial
Distant people contemplate their worth
Family lines erased from this earth
See the entrenched bigotry
We see where the power lies
See world leaders’ complicity
Washing their hands and averting their eyes
We bear witness to genocide
Ethnic cleansing of the oppressed
And it seems our hands are tied
The powers that be have vested interest
Free Gaza!
You cowards!
Stop the slaughter!
End the occupation!
