Genocide Joe Lyrics by Lowkey

Soundtrack To The Struggle 3

2024

[Intro: Lowkey]
Between 1776 and 2019, the US carried out
Over 392 military interventions worldwide
Killing millions in the process and condemning
Many millions more to life of agony and despair
A new world is struggling to be born
A phoenix will rise from the embers of empire in Gaza

[Chorus: Mai Khalil]
Genocide Joe, you terrorised souls
When your eyes closed at night, how do you sleep?
At night how do you—
Genocide Joe, you better lie low
We're getting quite close at night wе feel you breathe
At night we feel you brеathe

[Verse 1: Lowkey]
You are the murderer, you are the terrorist
You are the criminal, a crime so devilish
Genocide the aim, starvation is what the weapon is
America's woke president speakin' like he's on sedatives
Hind killed in a car, wonder what our eyes seen?
You were giving interviews slobberin' on an ice cream
Man squashed by a tank, seen his insides scream
Gaza's not a "strip" it's the world's biggest crime scene
Barefoot fighters, red triangles on light green
Gun fixed on Aaron Bushnell as they watched his life leave
This is for the child that asked "Why us? Why me?"
This is for the children that I see in my dreams
As night leans, bodies freeze in the morbid temperature
A stain remains on the faces of all your senators
No matter where the blame is aimed we all remember
The last one, 'Genocide Joe', the fallen emperor

[Chorus: Mai Khalil]
Genocide Joe, you terrorised souls
When your eyes closed at night, how do you sleep?
At night how do you—
Genocide Joe, you better lie low
We're getting quite close at night we feel you breathe
At night we feel you breathe

[Verse 2: Lowkey]
Biden is a murderer, Trump is a murderer
Whichever way you look, political system circular
Sunak is a murderer, Starmer is a murderer
Whichever politician, the indifference is merciless
If they deprive Gaza the option of breaking free
Then to me, a jail cell is the most honourable place to be
Fight like Vietnamese, fight like Algerians
Genocide streamin', you can share the experience
Camp David, Oslo Accords, a trojan horse
Gaza genocide, the last gasp of the global North
They watch from the drones and they kill 'em with no remorse
You'll never know the hopeless thoughts as you hold a corpse
As night leans, bodies freeze in the morbid temperature
A stain remains on the faces of all your senators
No matter where the blame is aimed we all remember
The last one, 'Genocide Joe', the fallen emperor

[Chorus: Mai Khalil]
Genocide Joe, you terrorised souls
When your eyes closed at night, how do you sleep?
At night how do you—
Genocide Joe, you better lie low
We're getting quite close at night we feel you breathe
At night we feel you breathe

[Outro: Refaat Alareer]
We know that it's very bleak, it's very dark
There's no way out
If there's no water, there's no way out of Gaza
What should we do, like, drown?
Like, commit mass suicide?
Is this what Israel wants?
And we're not going to do that, and I was telling somebody
Some friend the other day that I'm an academic
Probably the toughest thing I have at home is an EXPO marker
But if the Israeli's invade, if they barge at us, charge us
Open door-to-door to massacre us
I'm going to use that marker to throw it at Israeli soldiers
Even if that is the last thing that I would be able to do
And this is the feeling of everybody, we are helpless
We have nothing to lose
