Lyrics for died a jew as interpreted by inthissilentvoid

died a jew Lyrics
you say the shade of my face
for my father's sharecrops
my people were slaves, before yours invented hip hop
apologize, but i'm in on the joke
another brother to scoff at the dancing patterns of white folk

i think i'm fine the way i am
(and yes I chase my milk, with ham)
i think i'm fine the way i am

jesus died a jew
pupils painted blue
yeah, haters know it's true
jesus died a jew

save you the breath in my nose
for my daddy's ear locks
shunned before you pieced it & sold it
and called it punk rock
apologize for the murder of god
like judas the traitor
we are both favored and deeply flawed

i think i'm fine the way i am
(although we broke our promised land)
i think i'm fine the way i am

jesus died a jew
pupils painted blue
yeah, haters know it's true
jesus died a jew

so i'll,let it burn away
let it burn away
let it burn away
let it burn away (alright)

Say Anything is definitely not a racist band. Just listen to Yellow Cat/Red Cat for further proof.
I can totally relate to this song because I'm Jewish (though I don't practice the religion) and I've had to put up with so many stupid jokes about it. I think what he's trying to say is NOT that he's better than others, but that he's proud of who he is and you can try to make fun of him but it really doesn't matter because he's proud to be Jewish.
Rather than being prejudiced he's pointing out how dumb it is to be that way.

This is one song that is majorly catchy, but it could easily have been a 4 minute-long rocker. There needs to at least be a second verse before the chorus comes in.

And I really like the "I think I'm fine the way I am" -- it's like the lyrics to Admit It (proud of my life... etc)

I'm not going to call you a dumb ass cause I'm not like that, what I will say is that both Jews and Africans were enslaved, but there wasn't a mass Holocaust on any African Americans, also Africa doesn't have a huge target on its back from a dangerous and powerful country that thinks it doesn't have a right to exist (like poor Israel). Plenty of people have excuses to complain: American Indians were forced out of their homes and killed by the thousands since before and after slavery was in the country, Muslims or Middle Easterners are all assumed to be terrorists and murderers, hell even white Irish people were all but shunned for half a century because they were thought to be unclean and not worthy to have jobs. Basically the point I'm making is shits in the past stop harping on it, if you can't get past it then you're the one with the problem. I'm Catholic and love this song because I think it's funny and clever and very true and it reminds me of my Jewish friends who are proud they're Jewish, and I'm proud I'm Catholic, who cares?
