good German

pretend that it's Berlin
in the 1930s
you would've made a good German
a silent mouth
when the country plays dirty
you would've made a good German
no ears to hear
no eyes to see
congratulations
on your loyalty
you would've made a good German

admit defeat
and hide away
you would've made a good German
contribute to
your own decay
you would've made a good German
mindless entertainment
at your fingers to choose
turn on the TV
but don't watch the news
you would've made a good German

go get a number
and forget your name
you would've made a good German
don't look at me
I'm just doing the same
being the good German
delete your conscience 
and pretend it's fine
we're heading toward
the finish line
you would've made a good German
I would've made a good German
we would've made good Germans

oh my God
what have we done
