Niyar Iton

Yesh anashim megulgalim betokh niyar iron (There are people rolled in a newspaper)
Ah, woah, woah, woah
haim betokh kufsah shel shimurim (living in a conservation can)
etzlenu bamitbah (in our kitchen)
ubamitbah al hashulhan (and on the kitchen's table)
yesh ish betokh kankan (there’s a man in the pitcher)
Ah, woah, woah, woah
matzit mehaz'khukhit (peeping from the glass)
veyom ehad norah mitokh totah (and one day, was shot from a cannon)
ubatotah yesh anashim (and in the cannon there are people)
shemekablim s'tirah (who receive a slap)
Ah, woah, woah, woah

Z'kenim vetinokot (Elderly and babies)
leyad bakbuk shavur mehof hayam (near a broken bottle from the beach)
leyad hayam yesh anashim (there are people near the beach)
kof'tzim mibinyanim (jumping from buildings)
Ah, woah, woah, woah
sipru al zeh b'diha vetzohakim (there’s a joke about it and we laugh about it)
etzlenu basalon ubasalon shelanu (and in our living room)
anashim misug hadash (are a new kind of people)
Ah, woah, woah, woah
haim betokh s'mikha (living in a blanket)
leyad ramzor mitahat eize kav (near a street light under some line)

Ah yeah lo aleinu (Ah yeah not us)
hineh zeh ba hineh zeh ba gam eleinu (here it comes here it comes to us too)
ah yeah lo aleinu (ah yeah not us)
hineh zeh ba hineh zeh ba gam etzleinu (here it comes here it comes around us too)

Yesh medinah shemithabet mitahat eize kav (there's a country that hides under some line)
ah wo wo wo
veyesh statistikah shenikhtevah (and there’s statistics which are written)
betokh niyar iton (in a newspaper)
Yesh anashim megulgalim betokh niyar iron (There are people rolled in a newspaper)
Ah, woah, woah, woah
haim betokh kufsah shel shimurim (living in a conservation can)
etzlenu bamitbah (in our kitchen)

Ah yeah lo aleinu (Ah yeah not us)
hineh zeh ba hineh zeh ba gam eleinu (here it comes here it comes to us too)
ah yeah lo aleinu (ah yeah not us)
hineh zeh ba hineh zeh ba gam etzleinu (here it comes here it comes around us too)
