Come gather ’round people
wherever you buy
And admit that your Seltzer machine
is a lie
And accept that it causes
Palestinians to die
If human rights are worth savin’
Then you’re better boycottin
Soda Stream from now on
Buy a Primo Flavorstation or Pop’s Soda Shoppe
(Mack the Knife)
Soda Stream sells seltzer kits dear, and they make them for your delight
But apartheid’s in the background, and they keep it out of sight
(Kodachrome:)
When I think back on all the yak
from Israel’s press tools
It’s a wonder I can think at all
And though that twisted hasbara tried to hide their land theft
I can read the writing on their wall
Soda Stream
You give us that nice fizzy bubbly
You give us the occupation doubly
Makin us think Palestine belongs to you, No way!
I got a fine sense of justice
I don’t support Caesar Augustus
Israel don’t take their water and land away
Israel don’t take their water and land
Israel don’t take their water and land
Israel don’t take their water and land away
(California Dreamin’:)
Israel won’t back down
Taking freedom away
Time to sell your stock
In Soda Stream today
No one’s safe and warm
If they’re in Israel’s way
No more Soda Streamin’
No more apartheid days
I’ve done my research
On Mishor Edomim
We keep the conquered on their knees
When we buy Soda Stream
Don’t buy oppression any more
Take settlements away
No more Soda Streamin’
No more apartheid days
Mine eyes have seen the story of the crimes of Soda Stream
They are trampling on the people like Ahava beauty cream
Yes the things we buy can hide a lie, they are not what they seem
So don’t buy Soda Stream
Glory, glory don’t buy Soda Stream
Glory, glory don’t buy Soda Stream
Glory, glory don’t buy Soda Stream
Solidarity’s marching on!
