Shout It From the Roof Tops

I like Germany I like the Germans I have friends there I worked for a time near Frankfurt And I visit Berlin often It’s my favourite city They are nice people Friendly and welcoming They share our hopes And our aspirations We are so alike We have always been alike Well almost always There were dark days When they were seduced by evil And let themselves down So what happened? What infected this nation? This nation so like ourselves How did the madness take them? Why did they become inhuman? Why did they set a new benchmark? In their inhumanity Why did the good people not rise up? And oppose the evil Why did they fail to stop it Were the jews so bad So unworthy of pity Too worthless to be considered For whatever reason it happened They let it happen The worst of them profited by it The best of them turned a blind eye to it But they were all guilty And after the war I think they felt the guilt But they feel no guilt now Now they try to hide behind a lie Pretending it wasn’t really that bad There were just a few bad men And they are gone now The Americans exaggerated everything There were isolated incidents No more than that Let’s speak of it no more Lest we offend Islam Well Islam should be offended As it was the Turks of the Ottoman empire Who taught their German allies The meaning of Holocaust When they annihilated the Armenians I say lets speak of it Let’s never stop speaking of it And if offence is caused, then so be it If it prevents its like From ever happening again
