Songtexte

[Verse 1]
Alright, so, even though it's not a good marriage
They're trying to have a baby
So maybe
He's got good work, good pay
They're living in a country where no one's trying
To murder them in their beds
So maybe
They're both good people, wouldn't you say?
He's handsome, she's pretty
So maybe
[Verse 2]
But, maybe not
After all they come from a long line from Sarah to Leah to Jezebel
Of preparing for a worse that usually comes
Can these people be happy?
They're so out of practice
These are chosen people of corse
But what, you might ask have they been chosen for?
When Chayyim goes to a cinema with some friends from the synagogue
They're told, gentiles only
And of corse, of corse they sound Romanian
And of corse with more pilgrims there are more Jews fleeing to Canada
Chayyim sees it in the newspapers
In the Montreal Harold this morning
Old-Stock Canadians soon to be overrun by the semitic hordes
Standing outside the cinema Chayyim thinks to himself
This big cold country doesn't want him to see a movie
Ok, so, no movie
[Verse 3]
And then a crack opens up
And from so many miles away he can see the smoke
He gets off the train in Brașov
Snow's falling, there's no commotion
It must have happened hours ago
The butcher's shop is burned
And on one of the hooks hangs the butcher's son
Along a side street a child lies face down in the snow
In the town square corpses are being laid out
Chayyim vomits a couple of times and then starts to run
He sees they Synagogue, it's blackened beams have fallen in
Windows along his street are shattered
The front door of his house stands open
In the front room he finds his mother and two of his brothers
In the kitchen he finds his father
The back door is open, Chayyim goes towards it
But he hears a sound, it's his father moving
Chayyim goes back, pulls his father up, wipes his mouth
Watches as his father points to the back door and says, your brother
Outside Chayyim find his smallest brother, four years old
Curled up in the snow, his head is
Chayyim kneels down and touches him, he's still warm
Chayyim picks him up, turns, he looks into the eyes of God
Chayyim blinks, the sun is bright, he looks around
He's standing on the sidewalk outside a cinema in Montreal
