captain beefheart-dachau blues (the best song written about the halocaust ever)
Dachau blues those poor jews
Dachau blues those poor jews
Down in Dachau blues, down in Dachau blues
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
Dachau blues, Dachau blues those poor jews
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' back in World War Three's
War One was balls 'n powder 'n blood 'n snow
War Two rained death 'n showers 'n skeletons
Danced 'n screamin' 'n dyin' in the ovens
Cough 'n smoke 'n dyin' by the dozens
Down in Dachau blues
Down in Dachau blues
Three 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
i also really like flipper's lyrics, dont get enough credit for how great they were lyrically:
earthworm:
I am the earthworm
I live underground
I am the earthworm
I live in the dark
I am the earthworm
I live off decay
I am the earthworm
And no one sees me
Ever
The forces of dynasty are laughed at in the street
Our teachers hide behind their lies
But we´ve got the vision to see
You waste your time running from one book to the next
and when you stand in front of the mirror
I might get some rest
The chief looks back into the dark
and no one cares to follow
Lovers wait behind the phones
Praying there´s no mistakes
the city is made of concrete and stone
But we hide in the cracks
And the insects crawl through the dark
knowing nothing, nothing sees them
