1994

But I was a fool then.  I thought nazis were crazy people, stupid fanatics, but unfortunately it was not so. You see, they knew that they were not strong enough to conquer a unified country.

In the interest of everything that we hold dear,

We simply must have conformity, now let me make this clear

To you, the mass, the seething great unwashed, oh damn and blast your calls for liberty, diversity,

We know what’s best for you

Arresting you across the land, we’re testing you, see if you fit our plan

When the screaming of the innocents is drowned in calls for more arrests,

What side of the fence you on?  A true blue nazi saxon mothers son?

No toleration! Purge the nation! Weed them out and line them up

We’re all the same, we play their games, it’s in our names our throats are cut.

Won’t be leaving, all your beatings heal in time

And I still believe this country’s mine.

You know that you’ve had it pretty good so far, but we’re closing in and we know who you are

The ones that we destroyed

The old, the sick the young, the unemployed

Now you’re littering up our vision of a brave new world founded on fascism

My raging power lust will grind you and your kind into the dust.

Trespass is a crime against the State

They own the land and they control your fate

All the people in the squats and trailers, just a big long ragged line waiting to go to jail

When you’re thinking that it can’t get worse

And you’re sweating blood to quench their thirst

You’ll be nailed up for all to see:  The fools who wanted to be free.

They used prejudice as a practical weapon to cripple the nation.  Of course that was not easy to do, they had to work hard to do it.  You see, we human beings are not born with prejudices.  Always they are made for us, made by someone who wants something.  Remember that when you hear this kind of talk.  Somebody's going to get something out of it, and it isn't going to be you.  This is not classroom theory.  I saw it happen.  I saw it first in Berlin in 1932.
