From the liner notes:
“Jewish legend says that for each generation, the fate of the world hangs on 36 righteous people. How terrible the burden and how fragile the interdependence of a world where one ethical lapse will tear the whole thing down. But biological and ecological balance requires homeos...
When I was young, nothing compared
To my wubby and my fuzzy bear
No one told me what it's like out there
Oh life is like a bas relief
From some old Assyrian chief
So cruel, but it's beautiful
One flaw, one crack in the temple walls
One fuck up and that's all
Everything falls
אין מטר אין ארץ
אין ארץ אין אדם
Lamed-vovnik
What happens when your ethics slip
You can't always be a tsadik
The gleaners come after the fall
The cleaners come after curtain call
It's a well-known universal law
One flaw, onе crack in the temple walls
Onе fuck up and that's all
Everything falls
