lirik lagu when chanukah comes to town – geoff berner
oh
well
the christians irritate us with their christmass*ness
it seems like every year
and then the pagans must remind us they invented this
ok! we get it. it’s clear
jewish children saw the others open presents
it made them sad and blue
so their parents found a minor jewish holiday
so they could open presents too
it’s a tokenistic cultural compromise
that depresses me with a sigh
but the littlе ones seem to like it
so i guess that that is why***
i**
‘m ambivalеnt about chanukah
when chanukah comes around
the feeling’s not a cute
it’s chronic of
a thinking which is probably unsound. (un*sound!)
i don’t mean to ruin the party
i’m sorry if i’m bringing you down. (down, down)
but i’m ambivalent about chanukah
when chanukah comes to town
do you know the story of chanukah?
i wonder if you’ve ever known
well, the jews resisted greek civilization
till the greeks just got tired and went home
a tradition of religious independence
which we pass to the fruit of our loins
or a festival of violent fanatics
punctuated by chocolate coins?
like the glory of g*d’s creation
at the start of a brand new day
some times i could just take it or leave it
and that is why i say**
hey!
i’m ambivalent about chanukah
when chanukah comes around
i reach for a great gin and tonic
a
thinking which is probably unsound (unsound!)
it’s not the shallow indifference of the atheist
it’s more spiritual and profound
i’m ambivalent about chanukah
when chanukah comes to town
**you know i mean it!**
i’m ambivalent
it’s not an equivalent
i know it’s irrivalent
but oh well**
what the h*ll
