Dachau Blues - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

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
