Why all the anger
Why all the fuss
After all these people
Don’t look like us
Why do we debate
Why should we discuss
These people don’t
Even talk like us
Mistakenly ensnared
Thrown on a bus
What’s the big deal
They don’t act like us
I shouted you can’t arrest me
Thought I’d gained your trust
They answered me quickly
Michael, you are not one of us
First they came for the Communist
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
