Something Nice for My Soul

It's hard with the news here
So sometimes I take the car
And drive north of the city
Before another war starts
And my knees tremble for a moment
It's hard for me to digest what I'm hearing
More of the same chorus
Israel Syria Lebanon
 
I need to cut myself off it was a fascinating debate
Everything sounds like a bomb siren to me
I have to turn off noises and commotion
We need a song to lessen the deep sadness
 
Put on some Erik* for me just to calm down
Let me put my head down a minute
Put on some Zohar* for a second just
Something nice for my soul
Put on some Meir*, a shot of hope
One nice chorus with a beat, a tune
Let me put my head down a minute...
 
It's hard, it's hard my day
There's that financial issue
And we're all industrious but between us
We work, work but they're fooling us**
So we wait for luck in lines
And promise more dreams to the children
Everyone's talking about a house and a yard
Breaking savings and there's not even enough for an apartment
 
I need to cut myself off it was a fascinating debate
Everything sounds like a bomb siren to me
I have to turn off noises and commotion
Only music will lessen the deep sadness
 
Put on some Erik* for me just to calm down...
 
And it's hard, it's hard, that's right. but there's no other option
The quiet is missing but the country is wonderful
So you try to find some small lit-up corner
Maybe your head is running away but your soul stays
And my days are passing between all the headlines
Money money love peace and wars
And nobody manages to make us forget the troubles
We are simple people with big problems
