Sung to the tune of Khanike O Khanike

Khanike America

Come light the menorah

We all need a miracle

So come, we implore ya

Light a light for every

house that’s been lost

Banks too big to fail while

millions get tossed

Meanwhile, friends,

billions, friends,

are spent raining death overseas.

Wars without cause, these are

wars without cause, just to

fuel our stupid SUVs!

Wars without cause, these are

wars without pause, these are

wars that will bring us to our knees.

Khanike America

Come light the menorah

We all need a miracle

So come, we implore ya

Light a light for courage

to get through these times

Light a light for protest

against corporate crimes

Only then

ganovim

in DC will pay us some mind

Hammer blows for justice!

Hammer blows to share the wealth!

Hammer blows to build a better time.

Hammer blows for justice!

Hammer blows to share the wealth!

Hammer blows to build a better time.
