البيت والسيارة وكل ما لدينا
ملك للبنك ديون علينا
أنا بنفسي بعت نفسي لهم
دفعوا ثمني ولا شيء يهم
غارق في آلة لغسيل الدماغ
مدمن على كل ما يقتل الفراغ
وكأن الوقت صار هو عدوي
وأنين الحرية في قلبي يدوي
يستعملوني كالرجل الآلي
لأُفقِرَ الفقير وأُثر]يَ الثري
ولا أكترث، فقلبي من حديد
ادفع لي، أفعل ما تريد
صارت حياتي نسخة عصرية
عما كان يسمى عبودية
تغير الاسم من عبد لعامل
أو موظف بأجرة شهرية
وهذا هو حال الجميع في الغابة
علينا أن نطيع رئيس العصابة
فهل من صوت ينادي بالثورة؟
هل من صوت ينادي بالثورة؟
يا ويلي علينا ياويلي علينا,
لما يحطوا الميكروتشيب بأيدينا
يا ويلي علينا يا ويل, يا ويلي علينا
ها أنا أقف هنا
فوق أطلال الحرية
ها أنا أقف هنا
لأعيد النظر بكل النظرية
البيت والسيارة وكل ما لدينا
ملك للبنك ديون علينا
أنا بنفسي بعت نفسي لهم
دفعوا ثمني ولا شيء يهم

The house and the car and everything we own,
Belongs to the bank till we pay off the loan,
I myself sold myself to them,
They paid my price, nothing matters to them,
Drowning into a brain washing machine,
Addicted to whatever kills spare time,
As if time became my enemy,
The whine of freedom echoes in my heart,
They use me like a robot,
To poorer the poor and enrich the rich,
It’s no big deal; my heart is made of steel.
If you pay me.. I do whatever you wish,
I do whatever you wish.
My life became a modern version,
Of what used to be called slavery,
The name changed from slave to worker,
Or employee by a monthly salary,
This is the case of everyone in the jungle,
We have to obey the head of the gang,
Is there a voice calling for a revolution?
Is there a voice calling for a revolution?
[The part with the Mawwal]
Oh boy.. what will become of us, oh boy,
When they will put the microchip into our skin,
Oh boy, what will become of us.
Behold, here I stand,
On the ruins of liberty,
Behold, here I stand,
To question the whole theory.
The house and the car and everything we own,
Belongs to the bank till we pay off the loan,
I myself sold myself to them,
They paid my price, nothing matters to them.
Haifa based musician, singer songwriter Mostly known for sarcastic and political songs often considered
provocative.
He broke through to the Arab world with the release of his album Namrud, breaking social taboos .
His lyrics can be controversial with his personal reflections on a wide range of issues that give his work a rare and revealing authenticity...more
supported by 4 fans who also own “موال الميكروتشيب The Microchip Song”
fascinating listen from start to finish, thanks to the album’s fresh and forward thinking take of both classical Arabic music and popular folklore.
