Hanan ben Ari Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

כמה נוח לזרום עם המוח בהתניות אוטומטיות שלא דורשות לטרוח
רק לתייג ולנבוח, להסית ולזבוח לאלילי הרייטינג אייטמים בכל הכוח
הכול כבר מסודר לנו בראש מגירות-מגירות
לא ניתן למציאות להפריע לנו לראות
שכל שמאלני הוא בוגד, כל ערבי מחבל מתאבד
כל חרדי הוא שודד וכל המתנחלים רצחו את רבין
כל תל אביב טבעונית, כל נתיבות מסורתית עממית
כל הדתיים פרימיטיביים עם ציצית ועל הדרך מחקו את דארווין

אל תכלאוני בשום כלוב
אל תסכמו אותי ב- ויקיפדיה
אני הכול, אני לא-כלום
אור אינסוף לבוש בגוף
אז אל תכלאוני בשום כלוב

תקראו לי דון קישוט שמעז לקרוא תיגר
שימו לי פרס על הראש וגיליוטינה בכיכר
השדים זמנם עבר והמלך הוא עירום
תמחקו את כל מה שידעתם עליי עד היום
לא, אני לא המתנחל, לא נציג של אלוהים
לא דוס שמדיר נשים, לא גשר בין המגזרים
יישרפו המגזרים, תשרפו דעות קדומות
לכל אחד יהיה סיכוי לכתוב את הסיפור שלו
כי אם הכול גלוי וידוע מראש קלישאות-קלישאות
לא ניתן למציאות להפריע לנו לראות
שכל מזרחי מקופח, כל חילוני הוא כופר מלוכלך
כל הנשים למטבח וכל הרוסים הרוסים על סטאלין
כלו כבר כל הקיצים, כל חבר כנסת קופה של שרצים
כל האתיופים רצים ואלו שלא שרים עם רייכל

אל תכלאוני בשום כלוב
אל תסכמו אותי ב- ויקיפדיה
אני הכול, אני לא-כלום
אור אינסוף לבוש בגוף
אז אל תכלאוני בשום כלוב

עוד יבוא יום
עוד יבוא יום

יום יבוא ולא תכלאוני בשום כלוב
לא תסכמו אותי ב- ויקיפדיה
אני הכול, אני לא-כלום
עירום באתי ואשוב




אז אל תכלאוני בשום כלוב
לא תכלאוני בשום כלוב
