Consolation song

CONSOLATION SONG

My taxes buy a weapon Through its sights I seeMy children squeeze the

trigger gently and I am filled with pride

In my Walls a crack is gaping Hope I don’t fall through it

Maybe my house needs to be put in order or actually maybe

better not

Could sit all day and grind away at it

Could sit all night long and chew over it

and gulp it down

But why should I sink

And get hit by depression?

Best not

Because there’s no solution to it.

So what do you do? Console yourself

Kick back over a pot of comfort food

Fan the charcoal grillTake off with a glass of

“Ayalim” Arak

And sing that it’ll be fineSing so as not to starve

Sing so as to see there’s nothing to sing about

Sing another Consolation Song

Bamboozle me with coins

Stuff me full of falsehoods

And I like a simple lamb

I still believe

Once moreOd pa’am – עוד

Consolation Song…

Bamboozle me with coins

Stuff me full of falsehoods

And I like a simple lamb

I still believe

Once moreOd pa’am – עוד

פעם

My representatives grew a long trunk

Again I give them my voteI damage my kids Hope not too much

The floor shakes beneath my feet

Must take care not to fall

Maybe my house needs to be put in order or actually maybe not

Could sit all day long and turn it over and

check it outToss and turn all nightNot sleep, not sleep

from it

It’s a heavy scene to take in though there’s absolutely not

logic in itBest not

Because there’s no solution to it

So what do you do? Console yourself

Take the lid off the panTake the morals out of the

ministersTake the messages out of the

songs

And sing it’ll be fineSing so as not to starve

Sing so as to see there’s nothing to sing about

Sing another Consolation Song

Bamboozle me with coins

Stuff me full of falsehoods

And I like a simple lamb

I still believe

Once moreOd pa’am – עוד

פעם

Bamboozle me with coins

Stuff me full of falsehoods

And I like a simple lamb

I still believe
