למה לנו לרדוף – Why Should We Chase

Hanan Ben Ari

Why should we chase our tail?
Why should we chase?
Why should we chase our tail?
Why should we chase?
We wanted to sing, we wanted to be happy
To dance like kids in the first rain
But life, it’s a race for power
Life is a race for power
We just want to breathe
Why should we chase our tail?
Why should we chase?
Why should we chase our tail?
Why should we chase?
We wanted slow, we wanted no-pressure
To slice bread
To walk the kids to preschool
But humanity in its insanity
Humanity in its insanity
We just want to sleep
(So give us a nap!)
How with so many goals we don’t see the forest?
Why should we chase?
How to all the spirits, we can’t close the gap?
Why should we chase?
Man to work (was born)
Money doesn’t come (by itself)
Man to the world (came down)
And will keep working (forever)
Stop for a second, on the side
Go out to a field by yourself
Clean the measuring tool a bit
Ask the Special One, why?!
Why should we chase our tail?
Why should we chase?
Why should we chase our tail?
Why should we chase?
We wanted to sing, we wanted to be happy
To dance like kids in the first rain
But life, it’s a race for power
Life is a race for power
We just want to breathe
