verse 1
You realize, if you're happy
Jesus sends you straight to hell?
Israel, Israel
verse 2
And should you dare enjoy your body
Here tolls Hades' welcome bell
Israel, Israel
verse 3
You've found a middle-course existence
We're all bones and flesh and shell
Israel, Israel
Bridge
I can't answer for what armies do
They are not you
They are not you
They are not you
verse 4
In other climes, they bitch and whine
Just because you're not like them
Israel, Israel
Verse 5
The sky is dark for many others
They want it dark for you as well
Israel, Israel
Verse 6
Earth is just one big asylum
And explodes a prison cell
See us squirm
In our own damaged spell
Verse 7
You were born as guilty sinners
Before you stood upright you fell
Put the fear of many gods in Israel
Verse 8
Nature gave you every impulse
Who are virgin priests to tell
Who, how to love, how to live, Israel
Verse 9
And they who reign abuse upon you
They are jealous of you as well
Love yourself as you should, Israel
