Belsen Was A Gas Lyrics
Artist(Band):Sex Pistols
Belsen was a gas I heard the other day
In the open graves where the jews all lay
Life is fun and I wish you were here
They wrote on postcards to those held dear
Oh dear
Sergeant majors on the march
Wash the bodies in the starch
See them all die one by one
Guess it's dead guess it's glad
So bad
Be a man be a man Belsen was a gas
Be a man kill someone kill yourself be a ma
Belsen was a gas I heard the other day
In the open graves where the jews all lay
Life is fun and I wish you were here
They wrote on postcards to those held dear
Oh dear
Be a man be a man Belsen was a gas
Be a man kill someone kill yourself be a man
Be someone kill someone be a man kill yourself

Review about Belsen Was A Gas
cruel ! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/26/2008
It could be either a really sucky joke or real anti-semitic 'cause I think "belsen" comes from bergen-belsen a concentration camp where many Jews died and pictures reveal the dead bodys pealed in masses , horrible , you don't believe me , google it " belsen" oh almost forgot there were gas chambers in this concentration camp so " belsen was a gas "
Its Up To You | Reviewer: Lewww | 8/23/2008
Basically..
This is the bets sex pistols song..
Jonny came from a multi-national area of Finsbury Park, so i doubt its against Jewish people, its the sex pistols for god sake.. of course they´re gonna be outragous.
Listen to religion by public image... its basically the same, just against Jesus Christ.
If you dont like the song then don´t bother listening to it, its all up to you.
The real message ... | Reviewer: Kenny | 12/7/2007
I believe the real irony comes into play when you consider that the nazis used to play adverts for belson, calling it a paradise for jews who wish to leave Germany, and NOT be harmed. This song, I believe, is referencing those broadcasts.

lushhh! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/5/2007
i love this song so much but i don't find it anti- semitism but i guess i can't talk coz im not jewish! i thought of wearing a swastika once (just for shock value mind) but after learning about the holocaust i felt like a shit for even thinking about wearing one! anyway love this song so much! and if you think it is anti-semitic then don't listen to it simple!
Shocking, yes. Anti-semitic, no. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/23/2007
Even though Sid Vicious insisted on wearing a swastika t-shirt (for the shock value, combined with his own ignorance I suppose) I don't think that anti-semitism is what the Sex Pistols were going for here. The song is laced with sarcasm and irony - the Belsen was a "gas" pun, for example, along with the juxtaposition of mass graves and postcards with the message "Life is fun". The last lines of the song really says it all: "Be someone, kill someone, be a man kill yourself" - suggesting that the Nazis would have done the world a favor by simply offing themselves in the first place.
Song is not cruel | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/20/2007
This song may seem like it is anti-semeic but realy it is just black humer. Everybody knows that brits tell stupid horiible jokes, this is just one of them. I have many jewish friends who do not find this song ant-semitic at all. On of them thinks this is the best sex pistols song. Anyone who boycotts this songis missing out.
---buy the ticket, take the ride---
This song is cruel to Holocaust survivors | Reviewer: David | 9/15/2007
This song is really anti-semitic. There are those who debate what anti-semitisim really is. Well this song is a good example. How pathetic creating a song and marketing it to the skinhead types. I will tell many of this song before they go to purchase one of your CD's
