⚠️ CONTENT ADVISORY — TRIGGER WARNING SET LIST 23 — ZIONATION Lead Rating: PG-13 | GX Points: 28 | 15 Tracks This album is political satire in the extreme. It is not for the faint of heart. ZIONATION is not suitable for children, nor for those seeking sanitized or politically comfortable art. This work contains: - Radical political commentary including conspiracy theory rhetoric - Explicit antisemitism critique and the use of terms like "Zionist Jews" as political accusation - References to named political figures including Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk, JFK, Barack Obama, Zelensky, Benjamin Netanyahu, and others - Genocide critique (Gaza/Palestine conflict, historical genocides) - Anti-war, anti-military-industrial-complex rhetoric - Racial language used in satirical/protest contexts - Explicit language throughout - Direct accusations of complicity, corruption, and crimes against named institutions (CIA, AIPAC, Congress, Senate) - Imagery of political assassination and revolution ZIONATION does not hate Jewish people. It critiques political power structures under the label "Zionist" as a political category. However, listeners who are Jewish, or who are sensitive to antisemitism (even in satirical form), should be aware of the specific language used in tracks like "Sun, Moon and Truth," "Noble Place Hate," "One Step Higher," and "Catch a Stray." This album was written by someone who believes deeply in free speech and dissent. That does not make it easy or comfortable to read. Know what you are entering before you proceed.

(1) KAYFABE Well I don't have kids I have a cat The world isn't round and it isn't flat It's titled, it's warped and crooked as hell Manufacturing isn't gone... It's you who they sell! Politics is just kayfabe on T.V. Where it's all one big show - a show for me! They give me a vote Choice A or choice B But the difference 'tween 'em both Can be hard to see I asked for change And what'd they say? So didn't Charlie Kirk And JFK.... i see cameras on the polls i think donald trump knows who's on the epstein files all his friends are pedophiles Slick Willy Bill the same yeah, politics is just a game Landmines and trampolines and not much in between. (2) NOBLE PLACE HATE I pretend my hate comes from a noble place I'll kill you in the name of YOUR religion! I'm going to war? What are we fighting for? I'll pretend it was my own decision, Yeah! I pay taxes for schools and tolls for roads They give my money to the Jews For what? God knows You got drafted by coach Zelensky When you don't wanna play For a QB who throws hospital passes All your teammates get carried away! Who else do we give money to To fight foreign wars? Whuddya think the book 'Blowback' By Chalmers Johnson is for??? Yeah! Gift it don't burn it Or you will have to relearn it History is calling More buildings will be falling.... (3) BRIBE THE POOR BLACKMAIL THE RICH Bribe the poor, blackmail the rich Then the world is yours to do with it As you wish... The bravest are the first to die That's why I'm standing here And that's no lie You don't have to procreate to save the race Only kill at will to free up some space Is your species driving you mad? 'Cause chillun' having chillun' is the latest fad A view of heaven from a seat in hell... Fuck the chip I got a boulder on my shoulder! I got tossed in this melting pot And placed under a slow boil Hands up don't shoot Hands up, don't shoot! I can't breathe When the blacks can't breathe There can be no peace We've got to plant the seed of equality When being black's a crime There can be no more denying Out in the street Police gotta face the heat If you're silent That's compliance And just as bad as violence, yeah! We got blacks who can't breathe And we got whites in the streets Yelling "Fuck the Police!" The police chief perspires As his precinct's on fire The line's been drawn in the sand Here we stand against the man I look at you... You look at me... This is twenty-first century slavery! (4) BEFORE NOAH We've got a runner! In a land full of hiders Who have yet to discover They're cannon fodder for the insiders Uh Oh! The last guy who said that got shot But the guy before him became a movie star Few know it was Moses who built the arc Before Noah came and stole it and rode it And then stripped it for parts... (5) SUN, MOON AND TRUTH [QG position 5 / Full-text position 6 — see pipeline flag SL23-002] The sun, the moon and the truth... Everything else is up for sale You want further proof... United States and Israel, yeah The United States and Israel, yeah The United Stats of Israel, no! Bunch of Zionist Jews Keep on buying my news Tic Toc, too Because you gotta buy your views When everyone under twenty-five Knows they've seen a genocide You pay seven grand a pop To get influencers to stop The tidal wave of truth That's been rolling in Put Bari Weiss in charge Bring the new regime in... (6) STRAWMAN [QG position 6 / Full-text position 5 — see pipeline flag SL23-002] Well the left wants to keep you from saying things While the right wants to keep you from thinking things But this state of hopeless doom keeps me from doing things... I just stay in my room with no sense of being Blinded through my own lack of seeing Encased in a tomb with no chance of freeing Myself from myself So I fill up with hate... Pick a straw man to hang And go about my day (7) KEEPING COOL How much longer until the button is pressed Lately leaders have been losing trust Days, months, or years - it's anyone's guess How long we got left until before a cloud of dust? We all shake our heads and we disagree Is there such a thing as honor among thieves? Or are they all just biding their time? 'Til they get us all up on the firing line You know I've been growing mighty tired Saying, "I voted for the guy who lied" Wishing to return to the days of yore When liars' heads rolled on the courtyard floor And revolution ran red with rivers of blood Repercussions were faced for dragging someone's name through the mud Yeah, back when someone talked smack You weren't getting up! (8) UNBENDABLE SOLDIERS Unbendable soldiers never look over their shoulders For no one ever told them that the goddamn war was over Their ankles still shackled to the same old giant boulder The earth is only considered to be just a temporary holder People just dangle as they're being carried away Men in nice suits place another name inside a heavy folder So sorry Mrs. Bojangles... just be glad you're not the one who told her You could try and you could try but you could never console her As the wind blowing in your face just became a little more colder And you would mold her and him again if they were both made of clay (9) DON'T SHOOT A Muslim and a Jew alone in a room, Don't shoot. Dude, a Muslim and a Jew are alone in a room, Don't shoot. Yeah, Moscow or Ukraine, you're pretty much the same. 99% the same, Don't shoot! Yeah. Moscow or Ukraine, you're 99% the same, Don't shoot! (10) CATCH A STRAY Don't tell me to stay. You see me leaving. You have a good day. We're fucking even. Don't tell me to stay. You see me leaving. You have a good day. We're fucking even. These games I don't play. All this deceiving. You have a good day. You see me leaving. It's just me and the cat. I don't trust anyone else. Yeah, you drove me to that. That would be an improvement. Hating myself... NOT hanging myself! (These pictures of Jeffery They didn't hang themselves!) It's just me and the cat, everyone else chose the gun. And learning Hebrew, I admit it's not that fun. With a lak shak lak hum, haiyam, and shit like that. And I can hide my bald spot with that little hat, yeah. Better not tell might catch a stray. Oh, you might get Charlie Kirk'ed Or you might get JFK'ed.... I'm gonna be like Obama, and there won't be no cause for a llama. I'm gonna be like Donald J and do everything that the Adelsons say. Hey. Hey. Hey. Do everything that the Adelson say! Hey. Hey. Yeah. I turned on CBS and then I turned it off. I turned on MSNBC Grabbed my balls and coughed. Oh, shit. They just bought TikTok. You might catch stray. Better not talk. We have more in common Than complicity in bombing All the starving unpeople Suffering in the desert sand, yeah! It's gone too far south To vote our way out Don't have to be A Kennedy to understand.... My inner dialogue is trapped in a box like a fucking mime, yeah. They keep telling me to believe But all I see is them robbing me Fucking blind, yeah! It's not by accident the North hates the South, yeah. Slay the whip master, no matter This engine runs by itself! Democrats love all strangers, just not uncle or brother. Republicans only love God, No, they don't like each other! The last president who told the truth, his initials are now a verb. Killed by his own CIA and probably the Jews, Yeah. Israel first, America second, But it could be worse. Fake views, no, fake news. Fake views, yeah, fake fucking everything. Something, something, something, so they can take everything, yeah. All our leaders are bought and paid for by the state of Israel. They said if you want a record deal, then you better not tell. Better not tell might catch a stray. Better not tell might catch a stray. You wanna put a man on the moon... I wanna put a man in a room! Everybody's throwing money up in the ai-air.... No need to wonder why it's such a mess down here! It's a river of shit at the top and and can't see any other options How can anyone stop it? Making Israel Great Again... Then everyone can go fucking move there... Isn't that the fucking plan? Kill any everything that ends in -stan! Yeah Bibi, when he sees me He calls ME the fucking man! Now I'm off to bomb Iran.... Iranians, Gazans, Palestinians and the Lebanese, Getting Nagasakied like they're God-damned Japanese! Yemenis, Syrians, Iraqis, Pakistanis, Algerians, Libyans, and don't forget the Sudanese The lastest American weapons will help to bring you to your knees! Tunisians, Qataris, Kuwaitis, Saudis, Jordanians, Egyptians and the Turks, Gonna bomb you too, you bunch of jerks! Malaysians, Indonesians, Somalis, Mauritanians, Comorians, Djiboutians, Bahrainis, Emiratis, Moroccans, Afghans, and whatever you call the vermin from the Bangladesh... You will all die too if we have any bombs left!!!! (11) ONE STEP HIGHER The mask they wear is falling Can you hear them calling? Mother, I am dying I pay this price for lying The man building the bombs His time it has come! Those who just turned away Await the very same fate Two-hundred-and-fifty-years That's how long it took for us to get here That's a long time to rust and erode Grow weeds around the seeds we once sewed, yeah The identity we used to be I see falling down all around me For today I can't really say if I'm sure If we're really the good guys anymore... Seems like ever since the end of World War Two Most of what our leaders do leaves me confused At the candidate's debate I wait - "Oh, please do tell!" How'd we become the United States of Israel? Who's got the dirt on who? Why they lie about what I know to be true? AIPAC of lies, Senate and Congress says Sure, Donald Trump turned his head... But Charlie Kirk got shot dead! Zionist Jews bought the news Since the times of our Lord They'll label you an anti-Semite So nobody says a word! From a Holocaust victim... To Gaza Strip genocide Eighty years is all it takes To go over to the other side When you live-stream death twenty-four hours a day You'll watch a world of color quickly fade to gray What? We pay 'em four billion dollars a year? Just think what that money could do around here I'm stuck, running in place To get unfucked... gotta at least start the race But that's hard - no, not the easiest choice When they shame your name, they hate my face And despise your voice The last leader who had our back We all watched his skull crack On a Texas day in Dealey Plaza From Vietnam to Lebanon to Iraq to Grenada to the Gulf now modern-day Gaza Sure, any country can have a good century But the last eleven presidents should all be in the penitentiary Countries now hardly have borders Just the so-called "elite" and those who follow orders Sure, the Sicilian mob is gone But the CIA's five hundred times as strong The sale of secrets, of souls, of weapons and tech Blackmail Rolodexed and videotapes full of underaged sex You think you're playing Monopoly when you're playing Risk You say you'll take your shot - but the game's already been fixed... Money talks... Money walks... Sticks and stones beat stocks and bonds Tell me - what the fuck planet do you live on? Raise the alarm, raise the gate They're finally here to do harm - it's too late! Sure, any country can have a good century But the last eleven presidents should all be in the penitentiary Mmmmmm... you use fire as the cleanser When you're not an owner, only a renter Don't criticize the "Is" or you'll get censored These days your pay raise looks like Gaza's center These days are gray, sore on the eyes All the president's men even got the women telling lies The old are taking our world to their grave While we turn our cheeks and say "Hey Zeus saves" Now go in peace, while the good people sleep There's an evil released - buried barely skin deep That's the number one reason why We don't have good things anymore There are slaves who climb one step higher Doing the bidding of their lords (12) CONTACTS Talking straight to crooked people... Spend less on war Make fewer enemies... Instead of more, more, more! War, war, war! Either/or... Buy, lend or lease When the war came I was drafted number one They didn't teach me how to fight Or even give me a gun... On my second day I dropped behind enemy lines Somehow I made friends within a short amount of time "I could either get 150 million people to like me and I could be president - or I could get 10 people to love me and I could be happy. I'm not sure I'm capable of doing both." There's three briefcases full of cash For a kidnapper and a politician! If any questions get asked You were just out there fishing... Big game... I like persons but not the masses I got contacts, though I prefer glasses (13) FIND THE Find the beauty...It's past the hatred, Past the fear and the scorn Find the beauty...You've come early, Never too late to be reborn Find the wisdom...Gained from elders Of countless centuries past Find the wisdom... In the knowledge time is wasting And time is fading fast Find the truth...Stripped of comfort, Unmasked and unadorned Find the truth... That survives when ideologies collapse And manufactured illusions are torn (14) SOME WILL SAY Some will say I wanna be a porno star Some will say you'll be breaking the law Some will say, some will say, some will say... Some will say homicide Some will say suicide Some will say murder suicide, yeah.... Some will say, some will say, some will say... Some will say that's fucking gay! Some will say you made my fucking day! Hooray hooray Some will say, some will say, some will say... Some will say you broke the mold Some will say now give me back control Some will say, some will say, some will say... Some will say contain that rage Some will say let it out of the cage Some will say, some will say, some will say... Some will say now let's celebrate! Some will say best mind your fate Some will say, some will say, some will say... (15) POINT MY FINGER Fatalistic fairytales Never make the children smile Little lads long to cling to hanging chads and happy history teacher's made up facts That make great heroes of mom and dads Grandpa and grandmoms after-the-fact Though they know war sucks when people die Take a rake from a peasant from the countryside Replace it with a bullet encased in metal homicide No it's not nice... Crushing dreams Run up behind a Frenchman... And yell "Guillotine!" But watch out! For he's bound to dish, dash, dart, and then scream And that's when things will get REAL mean! Humanity lacks sympathy And we can never agree harmoniously I point my finger violently at you as you point back at me I shake the sheeple And unite the people Who see the world like me We don't like what we see But we're divided there's no hiding They constantly keep us fighting Humanity lacks sympathy And we can never agree harmoniously I point my finger violently at you as you point back at me It's getting too easy to get distracted Once upon a time
