I have written this song to call out the celebrities, politicians and everyone else who is still silent after over 18 months of genocide in Gaza.
After all the atrocities that we have witnessed, all the war crimes, cutting off aid to the people of Gaza, the killing of mostly woman and children and more bombs dropped there than in the whole of World War 2 and despite all the heinous actions of Israel, many people are still silent.

It’s really simple: you need to pick a side. You either stand with the oppressor or the oppressed. So be on the right side of history.
If everyone globally spoke out against Israel’s genocide on the Palestinians and took part in regular BDS actions,
cumulatively it would all add up and we could play our part in helping bring about Palestine’s liberation sooner.

 

Your Silence Is Complicity – JC BIGFOOT

Verse 1
As the whole worlds watching
As the bombs keep dropping
471 days and counting
The evidence against Israel
Stacks up higher than a mountain
And yet still you did nothing
76 years of Palestinian oppression
Relentless Israeli aggression
Ethnic cleansing
For Palestinians the pain is never ending
Politicians are lying Children are dying
Israel buying
weapons from the west Who supply them
As Israel’s killingx3
Men and mostly woman and children
Innocent civilians
Palestinians, Yemeni, Lebanese and Syrians And yet you still did nothing
Not a post on your feed, a tweet, a speech
You know Something

Pre chorus
How can you just look away?
Where is your humanity?
Why are you filled with such apathy
When children are being Orphaned in Gaza everyday

Chorus
You’re silence is complicity
Why are you so scared to speak?
The world woke up and now they see
So how come your still fast asleep
You’re silence is complicityx3

Verse 2
What’s it gonna to take
For you to change
When the evidence is right Infront of your face Our centuries Most open and shut case
You know the litmus test of our age
Your seeing families in black bags packed into giant graves When they could have been saved
Why does your heart not break?
Why does your body not ache?
Why are you not filled with rage?
Is it because it’s not Ukraine
Do you not Care about the Palestinians lives the same?

Pre chorus
How can you just look away?
Where is your humanity?
Why are you filled with such apathy?
When children are being Orphaned everyday

Chorus
You’re silence is complicity
Why are you so scared to speak?
The world woke up and now they see
So how come your still fast asleep
You’re silence is complicity x3

Verse 3
What’s seen can’t be unseen
Bodies being blown to smithereens
But This is not a scene from a movie screen This is the Palestinians harsh reality
So
What legacy will you leave?
On what side of history will you be?
Will you be remembered for your complicity Or did you help Palestine be free?

Pre chorus
How can you just look away?
Where is your humanity?
Why are you filled with such apathy?
When children are being Orphaned everyday

Chorus
You’re silence is complicity
Why are you so scared to speak
The world woke up and now they see
So how come your still fast asleep
You’re silence is complicity x3

Outro
This is for Hind This is for Reem
This is for everyone in Falesteen
all the mothers, the fathers, sons and daughters Who didn’t fulfil their dreams
Who didn’t live to see peace
But We won’t stop until you are free
