I’ve lost my dignity

I was born an Israeli jew

Now here I stand before you

An American

Don’t get me wrong Americas great

It’s the fact that im no longer Israeli

That’s what I hate

I’ve lost everything

Blips of my childhood memories fly by

Can’t grasp them, no matter how hard I try

I’ve lost my sense of the culture

Israel is now a whole different world

And the thing I most despise

Is when I realized

I don’t have an accent anymore

You see,

My accent is absent not even a fragment remains

I tried to retain but my mother tongue became

So turned and twisted almost like it never existed

Like my native spirit is being restricted and afflicted

By this linguistic language good Samaritan american

That reminds me that I have now become an Anglican

 A slippage a shrinkage of my heritage

Left is just a vintage image, it’s sacrilege

I deserve to remember where im from

The only remainder is this American English eardrum

I barely know my own language anymore

I used to have this advantage way before

Cause the ladies love a man with an accent

I’ve become boring, base, no longer a reactant

I used be the foreign esoteric handsome guy

Now I’m just another generic bright white guy

I can no longer say that I am truly Israeli

I’m completely American and it pains me

To say it out loud in front of whole a crowd

I’ve lost my dignity and I’m not proud

It makes my grandfather sad

It makes me mad

To know I lost all that I had

That I can’t do my country justice

The Israel in me has become a discontinuation

I have gone completely gone through, Americanization
