Wasted
Childsplay Lyrics

Firstly, it is important to note that the lyrics are controversial and have sparked outrage as they refer to Jewish people in a derogatory manner. The line "Waar komen joden toch vandaan?!" translates to "Where do Jews come from?!" and perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Jewish people being outsiders or not belonging in a certain place. The following lines go on to generalize all Jewish individuals and automatically assume that they are "superjoden" or "super Jews", perpetuating the idea of Jewish exceptionalism or superiority.

The line "Vinden joden voetbal fijn?!" translates to "Do Jews like football?!" and the inference is that they only like football if they support Ajax, a football club based in Amsterdam. The repetition of the word "Amsterdam" at the end further emphasizes this connection to the city, implying that being a fan of Ajax is closely tied to being from or living in Amsterdam.

In conclusion, the lyrics of Childsplay's song "Wasted" are highly problematic and offensive, perpetuating harmful stereotypes about Jewish people and suggesting that they are not fully integrated into society unless they support a particular football club in a specific city.
