Bubble in the USA (Parody of "Party in the USA")

Parody of "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus - the final song in my Seminary Songs series that deconstruct coming home from a year learning in Israel. I hope this song provokes thought and opens up a dialogue about life after yeshiva/seminary. Lyrics are below. Enjoy!

Bubble in the USA

I hopped off the plane from Tel Aviv
With fear and my tehillim
Welcome to the land of preitzusness (whoh)
A godless den of sin

Walked in the world
Back here for the first time
Look to my left and see the Billboard sign
This is all so gashmius
Everything seems just Hevel

My guard is up and Im feeling quite defensive
Torah study makes me sensitive
Thats when my friends try to reason with me
And I keep on flipping out
I keep on flipping out
I keep on flipping out


CHORUS So I break my CDs
And burn all my books
And kedushah comes my way
Shaking my finger like no
Folding my arms like nooo
And I leave my friends
And my ambitions
I know God will give me an A
Yeah its my bubble in the USA
Yeah its my bubble in the USA

Get to my home to change it all
Everythings now traif to me
Like the stove, dishes, counters, and food
Point it out to my family
So hard with my Rebbe not around me
Its definitely not like in Seminary
Cause all I see are their flaws
Guess they will always judge

My guard is up and Im feeling quite defensive
Torah study makes me sensitive
Thats when my friends try to reason with me
And I keep on flipping out
I keep on flipping out
I keep on flipping out

CHORUS So I break my CDs
And burn all my books
And kedushah comes my way
Shaking my finger like no
Folding my arms like nooo
And I leave my friends
And my ambitions
I know God will give me an A
Yeah its my bubble in the USA
Yeah its my bubble in the USA

Feel like hopping on a flight (on a flight)
Back to the holy-land tonight (land tonight)
But something stops me every time
Gotta wait til Im married and in kollel!

CHORUS So I break my CDs
And burn all my books
And kedushah comes my way
Shaking my finger like no
Folding my arms like nooo
And I leave my friends
And my ambitions
I know God will give me an A
Yeah its my bubble in the USA
Yeah its my bubble in the USA x2

Despite having only listened to a little of the original (I like good music, thanks) this was fantastic. Yasher Koach.

And just for fun, check these out "I Love Tiferet" and then "I Love Tiferet Remix." Considering your song, I figure you'll get a kick out of it. Being a HaKotel boy I might be a bit biased, but I was definitely laughing.

Keep up the great Sem parodies!
