The Status Quo is changing,
There's nothing you can do,
The Status Quo is changing
That's what's in the news,
You want to live your life,
Simply without strife,
But the Status Quo is changing,
Ain't it tough being a Jew?

In the beginning of twenty-fourteen,
The government said "We're gonna change things,"
In the name of education, excuses are found,
To take money and boys from the playground,
The State was born on a deal that you could live your lives,
But we believe in progress so we always change our minds,

The Status Quo is changing...

Then came down the rockets from out of their schools,
We tried to hit them back but that's against the rules,
Then the U.S. threatens, "No more defense! No more speeches!"
Or else you're on your own, no more money for leeches!
Obama says to Bibi, "You’re worried about your State,"
"But I can't help forever, things can't stay the same,"

The Status Quo is changing...

And in twenty-fifteen people struck in the street,
The world understands with great sympathy,
"What do you expect? You didn't know it’s a crime,"
"To pray to your G-d and to live your life?"
It’s OK to strike because we really know,
When you climb the Temple Mountain you’re changing the Status Quo,

The Status Quo is changing...

I don't know, you might like change,
But I like when things stay the same.
