My father lived in Germany before the war in 1933 He was a violinist in Berlin's most popular cabaret "You watched the tide turn dirty brown weren't you afraid you were gonna drown in your orchestrapit while sailorgirls sang through the night those silly lovesongs in the limelight how could you stand it?"
Bert Brecht already left the land from cabarets so many had been banned the first had been killed by the crowd you couldn't hear the music was too loud you should have sold your violin or traded it in for a gun rather than fiddling the refrain doing cocaine and charming ev'ryone
You should have killed Hitler you know you would have been right why didn't you fight? You should have killed Hitler you didn't see behind the curtain you didn't try to stop that show was it so nice your Third-Reich-paradise where the sailorgirls sang: Deutschland, Deutschland über alles tralala, wunderbar no panic on the Titanic
