A Syrian Child Is Now the Lamb of God

Immigrants are very useful now
Roast a Turk  to  share with all your street
Eat a Greek and let the people squeak
A Viking flames the pudding with a bow

Try a German sausage  in the Court
Eat him with a knife and fork  and bread
Frenchmen taste delicious  so it’s said
Finish  with a sailor drowned in Port

A Syrian child is now the Lamb of God
Dying for our sins and  for our hate
Yet Jesus was a Jew. a piece of bait
We eat  him every Sunday  in  the Bread

Let the refugees in, we shall see
One of them is you and one is me
