Dachau Blues lyrics

Artist  : Captain Beefheart 
Song : Dachau Blues
 
Dachau blues those poor Jews  
Dachau blues those poor Jews  
Dachau blues, Dachau blues those poor Jews  
Still cryin` `bout the burnin` back in World War
Two`s  
One mad man six million lose  
Down in Dachau blues, down in Dachau blues  
The world can`t forget that misery  
`n the young ones now beggin` the old ones please
 
t` stop bein` madmen  
`fore they have t` tell their children  
`bout the burnin`s back in World War Three`s  
War One was balls `n powder `n blood `n snow  
War Two rained death `n showers `n skeletons  
Dancin` `n screamin` `n dyin` in the ovens  
Cough `n smoke `n dyin` by the dozens  
Down in Dachau blues  
Down in Dachau blues  
Sweet little children with doves on their
shoulders  
Their eyes rolled back in ecstasy cryin`  
Please old man stop this misery  
They`re countin` out the devil  
With two fingers on their hands  
Beggin` the Lord don`t let the third one land  
On World War Three  
On World War Three  
 
Spoken:  
"and, it attracted a lotta rats, and, uh,
they close the doors, and uh, they all got
shotguns and rush out on the grass. Nothing
happened, they couldn`t get the rats to move,
see. So, they got one fella down there, he said,
er, ah, heeeeeeeeee s-stammered; when he got
excited he couldn`t talk at all. They got him
down there and er, Walt said, "I`ll get `em
outta there," and he took a stick, beating
them, started hitting them, tryin` to get them
outta there. Then he started shooting from all
directions. And `ole Walt thought he was gonna
get killed..."
