Cohenian Rhapsody - by Malkah

Is this Israel's life? Is it mythology?
Part of our Seder, which makes it our history
See where we've been, In Mitzrayim

Jacob's a dreamer, he'll tell you what they mean
And so it's down to Egypt I go, I will work for Pharoah
Then there's a new Pharoah, doesn't really trust the Yehudim

Moses just killed a man
He was making us make bricks
So I hit him with a stick
Ha-shem life is bitter here
Please hear our cry and take us all away

Pharoah ooh
He will surely make you cry
If he finds you here  - this time tomorrow
carrion you will be

[Too late, my time has come,
Sent shivers down my spine,
Body's aching all the time.
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth.
Mama, ooh (anyway the wind blows),
I don't wanna die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.]

I see a little burning bush in the sand
El Shaddai! El Shaddai! Says you will be my prophet
[Thunderbolt and lightning,
Very, very frightening me.]

I'm just a humble man, with mild speech
He's just a Levite from a small family
[Spare him his life from this monstrosity.]

Then he comes to Pharoah, will you let us go
Pharoah says No, I will not let you go (let us go)
Pharoah says No, I will not let you go (let us go)
Pharoah says No, I will not let you go (let us go)
Will not let you go
Never, never let you go
Never let me go, oh.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
[Oh, mama mia, mama mia (Mama mia, let me go.)]

Cause God most high has ten plagues set aside for thee, for thee, for thee

So God Almighty struck out with His mighty Arm
Jews marked their doors with ram's blood and suffered no harm
Oh Moses, can't take this no more Moses
Jews must get out, just gotta get right out of here

But what really matters
From this history
But what really matters
Is we're free
