Don't buy Israeli goods today!

Gotta stop this gruesome schleppin'
Congress needs some moral fiber
Zionists can't be the drivers
Freedom now, freedom now
Freedom now for Palestine!

You can send Israel a sign

Don't buy Israeli, don't buy Israeli
Don't buy Israeli goods today!

Don't buy Israeli, don't buy Israeli
Don't buy Israeli goods today!
