Lo Frayerim (Not Suckers) from "Lazooz"

Not Suckers
How much longer?
In our dreams we'll sail like a Mig
Look out from above all the stink
from a safe distance
which is five minutes
from Kfar Saba

How much longer?
Close our eyes to what's happening under our noses
and pretend everything is Sababa [BonzGirl note: sababa=slang for "cool" or "OK"]
We'll bring a beer from the fridge
and zap to a different channel

How much longer?
think about tokes and drinks and shags forever
so what that my next-door neighbor's Danny is an orphan?

I was at the funeral
and went over for the shiva [BonzGirl: 7-day mourning period]
but it is too much for me to break the cycle of suffering.

And we'll do reserve duty,
pay our taxed
and we'll get stuck in traffic
(no one screws with us)

We are definitely, definitely , definitely not
We're definitely not frayerim [BonzGirl: suckers]

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 [BonzGirl: because] if here a missile fell
there there is another bomb shell
what does it matter
who'll take over
from Jordan, Katash, or Shakil

And if here it's a combat zone
there a minefield
what does it matter if i pay by cheque [BonzGirls: for USAers, that's "Check"]
credit or cash
and if water is 700
and rates are 200

of course I'll take part in the latest discount deal...
Left -- right -- look to the sides

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

Anachnu Betach betach
betach lo
Anachnu Betach lo
frayerim
[We're definitely...]

and sometimes everything looks just weird
not connected
like a nun in a brothel
or a whore in a monastery

every thing'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 our 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 our reserve duty
pay our taxes
and we'll get stuck in traffic
(no one screws with us)

Anachnu betach betach
betach lo
anachnu betach lo
frayerim...
