This very Jewish song presents a tale in vignette of a politically active person and like minded friend in their youth struggling with their dedication to each other and to a political cause–tacitly, the struggle against the Nazi regime and the grudge all Jews carry.
Oh I wouldn't want to live
In a world without grudges
I'm waiting for you in the back of some bar
In some city where I'm living at the top
Life clear and skin taut
I'll be sitting at the bar there drinking
You just walk up and introduce yourself!
Jesus I'm jumpy just relax you dumb motherfucker
It's so hard to keep quiet in these times
For the longest while there's been a thought
In the back of my mind which can not help
But bring ruin
It was one perfect crime
All my life!
Up until tonight!
You and I, we have a lot in common
We met at some party or at some bar
It was one of those night when everything
Seems like a good idea
One of those nights when every drink was free
It was one perfect crime
All my life!
Up until tonight!
I have always been very articulate about
Things I will decide to change my mind about later
I'm still thinking of you sitting at my family seder
Always staring at Elijah's cup
It's the only one still filled up
Never believed that shit about angels at dinner
It's been one perfect crime, all my life–
Until tonight!
