lyrics

My father had to fight his father took to flight
and me I study with magicians
His father a chazan his father a cohen
and I I will be a musician

Prisoners he refused to shoot
wouldn’t rape nor burn or loot
and I will turn their guns to saxophones
Gideon had seventy sons
the only one left was Yotam
and he turned his back on the throne

Listen brother man you are what I am
Lets not fall into this game of us and them
Just put away that gun play the tune be the one
שבחי ירושלים In the present you are a musician

My mother was a teacher my uncle was a preacher
intermarriage makes for good genetics
Brave enough? refuse to fight!
you can choose to do what’s right
and your deeds are the echo of your ethics
