Текст песни: Son of Lenny Bruce + перевод

When I was seven,

Mrs. Discerbo,

a Christian Korean, middle aged lunch lady,

she took me aside,

and she showed me a cross,

and she told me it wasn’t for me.

She said «this here’s the cross!»

«The beloved cross,»

«But for you, they have what they call 'David's Star'»

I didn’t quite know,

Why David had lost it,

But if I could play ninja, I bet it’d go far.

I’m the tattooed Jew

the son of Lenny Bruce!

Frida Kahlo' is my muse!

Albert Einstein cuts me loose!

Stanley Kubrick is my vision!

Edward Teller is my hand!

My Y chromosome

goes back to the promised land!

When Mrs. Discerbo,

was done explaining,

about strange awkward icons

from context unknown,

All I got was that crosses

come from Korea,

and I’d get a weapon

someday when I’m grown.

I’m the tattooed Jew

I’m the son of Lenny Bruce!

Robert Dylan is my muse!

Carl Sagan cuts me loose!

Stanley Kubrick is my vision!

Edward Teller is my hand!

My Y chromosome

goes back to the promised land!

I’ve always been stuck here,

the line I’ve been walking,

drawn between two worlds,

where I don’t belong

To Jews, I’m too goyish

but haters anoint me

wrapped up in Tefillin

my hero’s are strong!

I’m the tattooed Jew

I’m the son of Lenny Bruce!

Robert Dylan is my muse!

Carl Sagan cuts me loose!

Stanley Kubrick is my vision!

Edward Teller is my hand!

My Y chromosome

goes back to the promised land!

I’m the tattooed Jew

I’m the son of Lenny Bruce!

Albert Einstein is my muse!

Frida Kahlo cuts me loose!

Lenny died a broke rebel!

cast down deep in villainy

Abbie Hoffman

Bugsy Siegel

Woody Allen

Set me free!
