Reconstruction Lyrics ©2010 by The Alte Rockers Re…construction…Re…construction Changing the words to all of the prayers… Cutting out Musaf--nobody cares! Taking out lines ‘bout the Chosen Peeps-- ‘Cause that kind of God kind of Gives us the creeps! Mordechai Kaplan, so intelligent-- Nobody knows what the devil he meant ‘Bout “belonging” and “believing” And a “veto” and a “vote”-- But it sounds pretty good, so we’ll Put it on a tote. Re…construction…Re…construction We put a Downward Dog in the Amidah, Then we open up wide and just say “Yah.” We got a synagogue Powered by greenhouse gas; And a sixty-pound siddur full of Baba Ram Das! (Pray Here Now!) Back in ’69 they were calling us freaks-- Back in Maccabee time, They were calling us Greeks. We’re the cutting edge, baby, With a brand new twist-- Say it loud, say it proud: Reconstruc-tion-IST !
