Yesterday I went to see a play

Brundabar and i think it was great

its about a guy like hitler hes not very nice

Obviously hes not very much like Christ


Living back then could not have been fun

Night and day your always on the run

I heard that over 6 million died

this all started with hitler's big lie


I should be happy that i have a better life

And there isn't a thousand people being killed each night

I'm so happy now there's no holocaust

but i still can't believe we took this major loss
