Here is another tune by the prolific singer-songwriter. The topical song references the recent murder of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, two Israeli embassy staffers. On May 21, A lone gunman outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C shot down the young couple who were planning on getting married. The lyrics mourn the senseless violence and express concerns that it will be used as justification “for the women and children all dead,” in Palestine.

“and eye for an eye
till we’re all good and blind
what more is there really to see
it’s. a big teeter-totter
of violence and slaughter
and the recess bell never rings”
