Momus - Space Jews lyrics
[Momus - Space Jews lyrics]
They have us taped they have us pat
They are extraterrestrial, extraterritorial
Where did they come from? No-one can say
One possible explanation is that they
Are Space Jews jews from outer space
Sent to walk amongst us
To improve the human race space Jews
Jews from outer space they gave us a messiah
They gave us a morality
They help us lead good lives from up above
They are Space Jews
They're giving us a message of love
For them we're clear they see right through
All the stupid and murderous things
We door would like to
The Nobel prize never goes to the goys
Who split the atom?
Einstein, Oppenheimer and the Freuds
Every one of them
Space Jews jews from outer space
Sent to walk amongst us
To improve the human race space Jews
Jews from outer space
They're doctors and they're lawyers
They're astronaut philosophers
They're holding up a mirror from above
They are Space Jews
They're bringing us a message of love
We are from Earth but they're from space
And that's where we'll all go one day
If we have enough faith
Together we'll colonise the stars
They can take us that far
Mr Spock on the Enterprise will be our guide
Vulcans too are Space Jews
And I really admire them
I really want to be like them
And when you want to be one
That's all you need to feel like one
For in the words of one of them
Theodor Adorno: 'Soul is just the longing
Of those with no soul for redemption'
So why don't you come and join them?
Space Jews
We're bringing you a vision of love
They are extraterrestrial, extraterritorial
Where did they come from? No-one can say
One possible explanation is that they
Are Space Jews jews from outer space
Sent to walk amongst us
To improve the human race space Jews
Jews from outer space they gave us a messiah
They gave us a morality
They help us lead good lives from up above
They are Space Jews
They're giving us a message of love
For them we're clear they see right through
All the stupid and murderous things
We door would like to
The Nobel prize never goes to the goys
Who split the atom?
Einstein, Oppenheimer and the Freuds
Every one of them
Space Jews jews from outer space
Sent to walk amongst us
To improve the human race space Jews
Jews from outer space
They're doctors and they're lawyers
They're astronaut philosophers
They're holding up a mirror from above
They are Space Jews
They're bringing us a message of love
We are from Earth but they're from space
And that's where we'll all go one day
If we have enough faith
Together we'll colonise the stars
