ADISHAH

Lo harbeh mat'rid oti bazman ha'acharon,

yesh atom - ein atom,
yesh bushah - ein bushah.

Ha'im harov od chai,
ha'im leyidish yesh atid,
ha'im od yikre'u sfarim o yenagnu tak'lit.
Hakol hakol mis'chak, lechol echad taf'kid,

Chadashot hatitulim, chukei hatil'tulim,

INDIFFERENT

Nothing really bothers me lately
I feel I am getting indifferent
How does the Yarkon river look,
what happens to the ozone
there's a nuke - there's no nuke,
there's shame - there's no shame.

Does the majority still live,
is there a future for Yiddish
well they still read books or play a tape.
Everything's a game, everyone has a job,
today I'm Goliath - tomorrow I'm David.

News headlines, laws of move-abouts,
justices runs wild and drops casualties.
The beautiful ten, the elected dummies,
march of the desperate, indifferent, weak.

But it doesn't interest me,
All I want to know is the status of the Yen
I'm not moving from the news on CNN
All I want to know is the status of the Yen

Nothing really bothers me lately
I feel I am getting indifferent
How does the Yarkon river look,
what happens to the ozone
there's a nuke - there's no nuke,
there's shame - there's no shame.

To the moonlight and the sunlight,
until the senses end, until my last breath
the world is so happy, dancing and up in flames
and celebrating to the sounds of the hungry world.

News headlines, laws of move-abouts,
justices runs wild and drops casualties.
The beautiful ten, the elected dummies,
march of the desperate, indifferent, weak

But it doesn't interest me,
All I want to know is the status of the Yen
I'm not moving from the news on CNN
All I want to know is the status of the Yen

News headlines, laws of move-abouts,
justices runs wild and drops casualties.
The profitting ten, the chosen crying.
The forgetting, the forgotten and the ones cause other to forget.

But it doesn't interest me,
All I want to know is the status of the Yen
I'm not moving from the news on CNN
All I want to know is the status of the Yen
