Maximum Restraint Lyrics: Rockets raining down from Gaza, they can tear a man to shreds Just imagine what they can do to babies sleeping in their beds Close to 3000 comin in so far, on our cities and our towns Obama looks confused, John Kerry wears a perpetual frown When someone comes to kill you In the middle of the night Don’t try to defend yourself Don’t use an ounce of might Just sit there quietly and try hard not to faint As the world calls out for – maximum restraint They’re shooting grads and quassams, from hospitals, mosques and schools When they photograph their dead and dying Hamas just sits and drools Another photo op to take, take straight to CNN they paint Israel as the aggressor – and then it all begins again When someone comes to kill you In the middle of the night Don’t try to defend yourself Don’t use an ounce of might Just sit there quietly and try hard not to faint As the world calls out for – maximum restraint Even France is getting the picture, Canada sure does too Time to take the gloves off, time this shit is through But the White House wants a cease fire, they wanna hand Hamas a win Not only is that insane, it constitutes a sin When someone comes to kill you In the middle of the night Don’t try to defend yourself Don’t use an ounce of might Just sit there quietly and try hard not to faint As the world calls out for – maximum restraint We gave them back Gaza and they started their missile attacks Then they went cryin to the UN when Israel hit them back Too few Jews have died, there must be something wrong Israel must be cheating, it’s not fair that they’re so strong When someone comes to kill you In the middle of the night Don’t try to defend yourself Don’t use an ounce of might Just sit there quietly and try hard not to faint As the world calls out for – maximum restraint Peter Himmelman, guitars, vocals Al Wolovitch, bass Greg Herzenach, guitars Jimi Englund, drums Produced by Peter Himmelman, Al Wolovitch and Greg Herzenach
