Lyrics
a boy leaves and then does not come home
Where is his blood where are his bones
Ooh, if only he'd return
Ooh, if only he'd return
His blood would leak
His bones would burn
He is the lamb, the child of Jesus Christ
His blood was ripe for sacrifice
Ooh, if only he were found
Ooh, if only he were found
We'd be alright
So safe and sound
Come Rothschild save us from the stone
Why must we suffer on our own
Ooh, I wish we all were Jews
Ooh, publish it in the news
Hey, why can't I have my faith
In a race beyond this place?
