Hey Jew

[Verse]
Hey Jew, they hate you
No matter what you say, no matter what you'll do, they'll hate it
And dress it up as something sophisticated
They'll call it war crimes, or Palestine, or the IDF
They'll say that we control the banks and the US government
We turn Christian babies into matzah bread
They'll make those lies sound like facts when, in fact, they just hate you
Ever noticed? No slur for Jews
No N-word, no F-word, and there's a curse for every group
But for us, it's just "Jew"
Say it with the right tone, and it's a curse
Here, I'll show you in this verse
Hey Jew, hey Jew, you see?
The hate can go from the river to the sea
Even though there was never any Palestine in between
Then it will create a justification for glorifying a nation
That would kill without hesitation if you're gay, lesbian
Or just a man who looked at the Quran with the wrong facial expression
Now, for the sake of argument, let's say Israel does commit genocide and occupation
Show me another place where citizens are blamed for their government's action
Russia invades Ukraine, but no one hates Russians
Everybody knows Putin's to blame
Iran executes women for not covering their hair, no one hates Iranians
The truth is, most don't even care
And Turkey? They committed genocide de facto
Did the world give them a hard time?
No, they gave them a seat in NATO
So it's not genocides they care about, it's not the women or the children
They don't want to mourn the victims, they just want to hunt the villain
And in the court of world opinion, Jews are always guilty
And strangely enough, the judge is never Jewish
The human mind is a brilliant thing, when it feels hate, it builds a story to it
Then it tricks itself that the story came first, but no, first comes hate
But wait, what is hate? It's only fear wearing armor
And when fear meets lack of self-awareness, it points outwards
That's how fear turns to hate and hate turns to ideology
Soon they'll hand out an anti-Semitism college degree
And they'll probably call it "human rights"
Now, who am I to argue with that? Just a Jew, and so are you
And we are supposed to be אור לגויים, a light
But I guess electricity ain't cheap 'cause all we've been doing so far is hide
We hide our religion, our tradition
We tuck our Star of David necklaces inside our T-shirts
And that's how they win
They made every Jew have a little anti-Semite within
We gotta pull him out
We gotta say, "I'm a Jew," and we gotta say it out loud
Be proud of who you are
In every country, every city, every street, every person you meet
Let them know you're Jewish and you don't give a shit if they hate you
'Cause, hey Jew, we love you
And that's all that matters
