The ghosts of Auchwitz are chasing me again
just like they did when I was ten
I sat with in the kitchen
with my mom
trying to speak, I was quite dumb
Tried to listen to what she had to say
wished it was just another regular day
and now its
midnight and I am drunk
smoked a cigar and smell like a skunk
what is the meaning of life, I try to figure
with the skills of a mathematician and all its rigor
Menke Kalisch, Kopel Reich
those are
important figures in my psych
I can feel them fight
with all their might
"Torah is important, everything else is fake"
No! More dough you got to make
Mom would wake up every morning
and sort of go into mourning
Where is her family and Galanta, she tried to shout
Do you know what this is about?
Lisa lies next to me. so innocent
never had to deal with anything indecent
wish I could be like her
and think that life is fair
But I think of my uncle, whom I never met
but can''t seem to be able to forget
and both of my grandparents
and their families
rolling in their grave
whom no one wanted to save
