Some say that I killed Jesus
Some say He died for
me
Some say that I'm an
infidel
Sub-human by decree
I'm living in
diaspora
Or in desert sand
anew
If you need to call me
anything
Call me the wandering
Jew
Stranded at the
border
Lord they won't let me
in
Ask from where I
came
I just don't know how to
begin
All my possessions
From my head down to my
shoe
Are in perpetual
motion
Call me the wandering
Jew
Enslaved by the
Egyptians
Nebuchadnezzar too
The Hittites now the
Shiites
Want an end to you know
who
I look over my
shoulder
See a banner held by
you
Reads 'Israeli
Apartheid'
Call me the wandering
Jew
Kicked out of
Lithuania
Poland and Ukraine
Riga and Estonia
Riots in Bahrain
From Leningrad to
Moscow
Kazakhstan to
Kathmandu
People live this very
day
They don't know that they're a
Jew
I listened to your
stories
The good, the bad, the
true
He who smites the Eye of
God
Is known but to the
few
A refugee from
nowhere
Though narrow gate the arrow
flew
Without
denomination
Call me the wandering
Jew
Pushed from post to
pillar
My back's against the
wall
This one
affiliation
Is the daddy of them
all
Assimilation isn't
total
Nor the line that you
drew
While I'm open to
suggestion
Call me the wandering
Jew
From Belzec to
Treblinka
I hear the people
wail
In Chelmno and
Sobibor
Who escaped to tell the
tale
Majdenek and
Auschwitz
3.5 million slew
And you say let's not discuss
it
Call me the wandering
Jew
I'm Jewish in the
winter
I'm Jewish in the
fall
I'm Jewish in the spring
time
In the summer time and
all
You say you never knew
that
You saw me eat Irish
Stew
And I'm working on
Shabbas
Call me the wandering
Jew |
