The Jew That Got Away

Bill Collins, Dave Dictor

[Verse 1]
This is the story of my Grandpa Max
A Jewish tailor who had to face the facts
Sensed a hatred so profound, so ugly he could smell
Forewarned him he should escape the impending hell

[Chorus]
Now I'm Max's grandson and I'm back to say
Here I am, the living proof, the Jew that got away

[Verse 2]
Old folks point their fingers, cold stares seem to say
"If this was 1942 that scum'd be sent away"
Well, now it's 1991 and it's as clear as day
A lot of you old fascists haven't changed your ways

[Chorus]
Now I'm back in the Fatherland and I'm here to say
Here I am, the living proof, the Jew that got away

[Bridge]
Oh Bavaria, Aryan heaven
Land where Hitler wrote "Mein Kampf"
In Bavaria they're still laughing
At the ovens in the camp

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Private fascist armies to haunt us like the past
Fear is your disease and we'll call you on it fast
Designed a new AIDS tattoo for a brand new threat
But our kind won't go away, and we won't forget

[Chorus]
Now here I am back in the Fatherland and I'm here to say
Here I am, the living proof, the Jew that got away

[Outro]
And it's [?] you, motherfucker
