Over the years I have written many songs about FREE PALESTINE. Such music is part of the larger obligation all people of conscience have to give genuine, meaningful support to our brothers and sisters in Palestine and Israel. Please listen and share!
WE EXIST
I wrote this sad heavy rock song from the position of a father who was murdered in Gaza by Israeli Occupation Forces funded by US taxpayers and, as he ascended to heaven, he told his daughter it would be alright because he is no longer in pain.
Don’t be frightened my child it will be over soon
And I know you are scared so hide in your room
And Shhhhhhh now it will be over soon
That’s what they said last night as they bombed your school
The reasons are beyond you & me
Please don’t cry I won’t lie like they do on TV
And Shhhhhh my love this is it where it ends
That’s what they said last night so let’s not pretend
I am in a safer place now feeling no pain from their crime but I miss you so
And I wish in our shared future we can get along
We need to be strong cause we belong
No matter what they say!
We exist, denialists
We exist, murderists
We exist, calling Zionists
We exist, Psycho Predator ists
We exist, we ain’t no terrorist
We exist, Get us off your list
We exist, send us a kiss
Cause We exist
We exist
We exist
We exist
We exist
We exist
YouTube has restricted the video claiming the images are grotesque. And they are right, they are grotesque! That’s the point! Open your freakin eyes!
MEMO TO THE SILENT
When we stick our head in the quicksand
The world goes blind
When we stand up then we get banned
At least we stay alive
Dark Side drops bombs on schools
Breaking all the rules
Killing by thousands every day
Phony Christians cheer End of Days
When we stick our head in the quicksand
The world goes blind
When we stand up then we get banned
At least we stay alive
Dark Side says they’re all no good
Do they think we are all fools
Killing in real time every day
Talking heads profit in evil ways
When we stick our head in the quicksand
The world goes blind
When we stand up then we get banned
At least we stay alive
Calling All Humanity
The World is On Fire
This is Johnny Punish on Pirate Satellite
Get to the Front Lines
Cause Without People We’re Nuthin’
When we stick our head in the quicksand
The world goes blind
When we stand up then we get banned
At least we stay alive
Na Na Na Na Na Na
La La La
When we stand up then we get banned
But at least we stay alive
GAZA CITY
A rock song about the attack in 2008/09 on Gaza.
THE OCCUPATION
A dark thoughtful rock opera song about the oppression in Palestine
WE’RE ALL HUMAN BEINGS
A pop rock song about and inspired by the Gaza Flotilla Massacre (Mavi Mar Mara).
We must be careful what we project
The law of attraction is always in check
Bringing us what we think
Extremists at the gate hey don’t blink
Cause what we think is what we bring
When we kiss the lies on a radical ring
And we think murder is moral thing
It only makes us forget…..
That we’re all Human Beings
We’re all Human Beings
We’re all Human Beings
We’re all Human Beings
When we can’t condemn an attack on the sea
On protestors just like you and me
Cause a talking head will say on TV
That the bad guy is the man on his knees
So the shipmates defend with sticks and stones
While the pirates shoot with bullets on bones
And the death toll rises while we go home
It only makes us forget
That we’re all Human Beings
We’re all Human Beings
We’re all Human Beings
We’re all Human Beings
Madison Avenue overdrive
Lobbyists pay to tell the lies
Beltway people speak nothing but jive
While taxpayers try to stay alive
And the shipmates defend with sticks and stones
Where’s my president get him on the phone
And the death toll rises and he’s not home
It only makes us forget
That we’re all Human Beings
We’re all Human Beings
We’re all Human Beings
We’re all Human Beings
I hope that the message spreads around to add value to the awareness, education, and discourse on the issues. If you feel compelled, pass it around.
Rock On, Peace Out…

Clearly Johnny, we’re NOT all human beings. Some of us are psychopaths and many of us are so damaged by psychopaths that we are effectively also psychopaths. “We’re all one” isn’t going to advance anything. People need to to understand that the world is ruled by an intra-species predator… psychopaths.
Niall, yes, unfortuately, the psychotic predators are the fungus among us. No naivete here. The song is meant as a hope and a higher ideal to aspire to; to remind us that we are one part of one tribe and that we have to rely upon and live in peace and harmony. Moreover, it’s a statement about GAZA and the oppression, criminality of the Zionist state.
