B5 A5 G5 F#5
B5 A5
The rain falls down in Amsterdam the streets are wet and black
G5 F#5
Midnights like November by the glow of a cigarette
B5 G5
The girls on hash in station square looking stupid from the drugs
A5 F#5
When Marlene heard the boots march there were reasons to be dumb
B5
Shiny helmuts in the shadows
G5
Those trains that left at night
B5 G5
Those hiding in the cellars those eyes afraid of light
B5 G5
Something neath the border's poured poison in the well
A5 B5
The creature has uncoiled and is crawling up from hell
E5 B5
Here comes 1914 1932
A5
Those cattle cars and yellow stars
B5
It's right back to the roots
E5 B5
It's movin in the open with a snarl and a growl
A5 B5
The cages have been broken and the beast is on the prowl
B5 A5
Fire bomb those houses burn those refugees
G5
Be the crowd and do your work
F#5 B5
Applauding silently round up all the gypsies
G5
Go sell them on the trains
A5
Can't you smell the smoke now
F#5
Drifting through the rain
B5
Jews better draw your curtains
G5
You better lock your doors up tight
B5 G5
They're snarling up in Rostock in the beer hall belly nights
B5
The Fourth Reich's coming now baby
G5 A5
They're writing out the page in Rome, Berlin, and Stockholm
B5
The beast has left the cage
E5 B5
Here comes 1932 here comes deja vu
A5
Those cattle cars and yellow stars
B5
Was there someone that you knew
E5 B5
It's right there in the open somethings smelling bad
A5 B5
The cages have been broken and the beast is a running mad
B5
Those canals and cozy houses
A5
Those reflections in the light
G5
You can almost feel it moving
F#5
The monster in the night
B5
It's looking with it's yellow eyes
G5 A5
It's out to settle scores in the dim medieval distance
F#5
Feel it breathing down your pores
B5
In Salt Lake City and in Rio
G5
The beast can smell the flames
B5 G5
It's faxing hate out in Marseilles typing out your name
B5 G5
You can hear the windows shatter as the time is drawing near
A5
Kristall Nacht come to town
B5
Welcome back to the house of mirrors
A5 B5
The fire and the armbands and the iron arm salutes
A5 F#5
Pointing to the scapegoat was it me or was it you
B5
It's right there in the open
A5
Don't just stand there hoping
G5
the leashes have been broken
B5
And the dogs are on the loose
B5 A5
Now I have been here thinking how lucky I have been
G5 F#5
I never touched the barb wire never saw the money grin
B5 G5
No rifle ever smashed my face no bare electric shock
A5
But I'll confess up
F#5
All I know who I am and who I'm not
B5 G5
To see retired killers is to see the lion yawn
B5 G5
The shinheads do their dirtywork for the cloak and dagger pawns
B5
The dark eyes will be waiting there
G5
When the borders they are crossed
A5 B5
So keep your filthy swastikas and shove your iron cross
E5 B5
Here comes 1914 1932
A5
Those cattle cars and yellow stars
B5
It's right back to the roots
E5
It's out there in the open
B5
It's crawling on the move
A5 B5
The cages have been broken and the beast is on the loose
B5
Can't you smell the blood now
Can't you smell the truth
B5
And the rain falls down in Amsterdam
