Get Back

I guess it's better
to start a war,
or stab a rabbi
than to look at yourself
in the mirror of your hotel room.

It's better to get carried away
by your culture
the Grave children
in front of the tanks,
the holy soil
speaking your language.

Shame on you, Great Poets!
I love the past as well as you
but I've got to do something
to change your stupid bloodthirsty
music,
which no one but God really likes.

GET BACK TO YOUR DIARIES.

Leonard Cohen
