NOT SUCKERS
How much longer? In our dreams we’ll sail like a Mig, look out from above on all the stink from a safe distance, which is 5 minutes from Kfar Saba
How much longer? Close our eyes to what’s happening under our noses and pretend that everything’s Sababa
We’ll bring a beer from the fridge and zap to a different channel
How much longer? Think about tokes and drinks and shags for ever, so what that my next door neighbour’s Danny is an orphan?
I was at the funeral and went over for the shiva but it’s too much for me to break the cycle of suffering.
And we’ll do reserve duty, pay our taxes
And we’ll get stuck in traffic (no one screws with us)
We are definitely definitely definitely not
we’re definitely not frayerim
And we’ll do reserve duty, pay our taxes
And we’ll get stuck in traffic (no one screws with us)
We are definitely definitely definitely not
We’re definitely not frayerim
My mates say enough enough of being so heavy
And I don’t disagree but the situation’s absurd – try to get some of these examples and if you don’t manage then wait for me
Cos if here a missile fell, there there’s another bomb-shell
What does it matter who’ll take over from Jordan,Katash, or Shaquille
And if here it’s a combat zone, there a minefield
What does it matter if I pay by cheque, credit, or cash
And if water is 700 and rates are 2000
Of course I’ll take part in the latest discount deal…
Left – right – look to the sides
And we’ll do reserve duty...
And sometimes everything looks just weird, not connected
Like a nun in a brothel or a whore in a monastery
Everything’s going from bad to worse
Tear emerges from the eye, spills over onto the cheek and you? – I cry about it all.
Weep at how it all could have been major here
Could have been harmony…
Between synagogue and flack-jacket to the mosque
Shopping mall, church, it all could have been one
Instead there’s this feeling of help!
Living with this sense of ‘as if’
Without looking reality in the face
With no attempt to move forward, only to float
Disconnect
Do everything not to get screwed
Do everything not to get screwed
And we’ll do reserve duty...
