Drip Drop
The military we got to stop X4

Let me take you back to 1943
The year that started this catastrophe

When the fuel tanks were created by the military
And Rosevelt was the president, Franklin D.

There's 20 tanks in total and they're 100 feet wide
But they're so underground they'll never see the sky

They rest right above our largest aquifer
The ‘āina is our mother get our hands of her


Drip Drop
The military we got to stop X4

This is only what we do know, Image what we don’t
Our water crisis is a time bomb that’s bound to explode

The US is nothing more than a war machine
Where capitalism reigns supreme

Matter of fact HKT said it best,
When US goes to war Hawaiians lose their land

Just look at what they did to our sacred Mākua
This ‘āina is our mother, they did nothing but abuse her


Drip Drop
The military we got to stop X4

And now our water’s being poisoned by uncle sam
This is imperialism’s master plan

Hands off our waters, hands off our daughters
We are not your sheep you cant send us out to slaughter

But keep in mind, the worst is not over
Theres still oil leaking from the USS Arizona
It’s been for 80 years, right into Pu’uloa
We will not rest until the fight is over

Drip Drop
The military we got to stop X4


Rise up

Now is the time to demilitarize Hawaiʻi
Refuse to fight in their wars
Refuse to make our homeland their paradise and their target practice
Strip yourselves of the flag the US has on our backs
And Adorn yourselves in pule and maile

Refuse to remain idle as they continue to poison our waters

Rise Up

Down with the US Navy
