Died A Jew - Say Anything
You say you're a shade in my face from my father's share crops
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 its true
Jesus died a jew
you saw you're the breath on my nose of my daddy's ear locks
shunned before you pieced it and 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 its true
Jesus died a jew
so I'll let it burn away
let it burn away
let it burn away
let it burn away

***SONG ANALYSIS
Song- Died a Jew
Artist- Say Anything
Genre- Rock
Released- 2007
The issue that is being addressed is race relations. This song says that Jesus was a Jew and it is basically addressing the controversial issues that a lot of people believe that Jesus was white. I think that this belief mainly stems from the many white people that came over to America from England in the 1700's. The huge Anglican Church was in charge of everything, and they were all white, so of course, everyone claimed that Jesus was white. Also, it was even said in the Bible that Jesus was from Jerusalem, there's no way he could just be white. This song just says that what everything claims just because white was the supreme race for a long time, that Jesus was white.
