Here's the lyrics to Hey Jews:

Hey Jews, We're jealous of youse, you took a sad song and made it better, You work hard to forget all of our sins, and that's how you begin to make things better

Hey Jews, No longer afraid, you've become doctors to make us better, you heal us and represent us in court, it's your brains we sought to make things for us better

And any time you feel the pain from the past, remember that facism can never last, oh well you know that it's the fool who thinks he's cool...

[FrodoWitcher]

Ringo won''t shut the fu*k up!

George keeps writing stupid fu*king songs!

I actually died at this part...

@NameOfIronicness

[AlaricArrives]

[MALUMDR]

[iTzGOOSEE]

I just listen to the song I don't need the lyrics in the comments

[Rilaroothestoner]

Funny but true

[TheSinUnforgiven]

I'm gonna start a band with Linda and name it Metallica. Yeah that's a good name for a band. XD

@ThePrestige4u And sorry if I come off a tad contrarion; I just love the Beatles and, based on my reading (and listening), think that the situation was more complex than just John's Weird Girlfriend. Moreover, it would be pretty difficult to convince me that this video was not in some way a parody of both Paul's mental state at that time and the fans' overreaction to the very existence of Yoko. And I'm pretty sure I'm not mentally ill. Not in a way that would color my opinion :D

@ThePrestige4u

I bet he would too! It's a pretty amusing take on what was going on.

Interpreting something differently means I need to be put on medication...? Gosh, I hope not.

You should check out the recordings of their post-yoko conversations during recording sessions. John is often high and uncooperative, Paul is all around very pissy and demanding, and Yoko is mostly silent. Like I said before, these are all great people who were stuck in a stressful situation.

@o0jjj Bet you dimes to dixie , Paul would laugh his ass off ! Lets all just check our , "sense of humour circuits" or change-up our meds , or something . :)

@ThePrestige4u You do realize that this song is bashing Paul and the toxic nature of the beatles' friendship in general, right? It's not about how Yoko sucks. The disparaging comments about Yoko are there to characterize Paul as petty and deranged.

For the record, I like all of the beatles AND yoko, yet I will admit that every single one of them is an imperfect individual deserving of the occasional jab.
