AZ LAMAH LI POLITIKAH ACHSHAV

Alfei shchirim shel cherev mitkansim b’toch misgad

Liftor et hamatzav hanuchichi
U’v’new york hamtzi’u zahn chadash shel machalah
V’ish echad to’en shehu achi

Az lama li politika achshav?

SO WHY WOULD I WANT POLITICS NOW

Thousands of mercenaries gather in a mosque
talking about me, but not with me
cousin of my neighbor talked to
the assistant battalion commander (abc)
so says the wife of my sister's son
ohh my sister, my sister..

Coriander & parsley meet in the dark
to discuss the current situation
and In NY a new disease was invented
and one man claims to be my brother
ohh my brother, my brother...

I lied when I said everything is wonderful
cause nothing was true at all
and our ball that turned into a square
is now in denial


I'm in the rock & roll business...

In San Francisco the bridges need some healing
and in Russia another train crashed
the mass broke the wall in Berlin
and all you and me can do is hope
oh hope... oh hope...

why a stone in Ramallah diverts its course,
of course, you and me are sitting
in a cardboard box
I'm singing and you dance in the middle

so why do I need politics now?
