Go Team Iron Dome

Would you like to be
A part of something grand in scale
So great
Unique?
Come join the practice squad
Go Team Iron Dome
No one is ever cut
Positions always open due to high mortality rate
You aren't required to speak
You're most welcome to play from home

WANTED: Gazans only need apply
Preferably
Gazans who are willing to die
Oh, say can you see
The rocket's red glare in the starry night sky?
Right over there
Crisscrossing the border
Mortar exchanged through the air

Who fired the first shot?
The order of occurrence matters not
Who was responsible?
The answer is inconsequential
Any excuse for more shelling from each side
Upon this battlefield
All retribution is justified
The true nature of the power they wield
Operation Human Shield

Innocent bystanders aplenty in this spectator sport

Scurrying like rats in their concrete maze
Beneath cities smoldering
Reduced to ashen rubble
Lingering sulfuric cloudy haze
Hamas proudly makes its arena sport power plays
Banking on Israel being so goddam predictable

Always going over the top
Bat shit crazy
Insane
Eager to unleash the war machine
And let the hellfire rain

Running up the body count
That's the strategy of the game
Yesterday
Today
Tomorrow
It's all the same

A single rocket guarantees retribution
In the form of excessive force

Excessive force guarantees retribution
In the form of a single rocket

Sock it to'em
Back and forth
No one ever wins
Back and forth
A single rocket
Punishes thousands of civilians
Back and forth
Put into harms way
Every single day
The elderly
Children
Entire families
Who never volunteered to play

You cheered on Hamas
Go team Iron Dome
Invited bloodshed into your neighborhood
Inside your very home
Don't come crying to us
Armchair quarterback hero
When your arms and legs are blown away
Just get on your bloody stumps
And pray

Pray that this doesn't go into Overtime
And no one survives

Score : Zero to Zero
Israel versus Hamas

Playing games with human lives
