Dachau Blues Lyrics
[Chorus: Captain Beefheart]
Dachau blues, those poor Jews
Dachau blues, those poor Jews
Dachau blues, Dachau blues, those poor Jews
Still crying 'bout the burning back in World War Two's
One mad man, six million lose
Down in Dachau blues, down in Dachau blues
[Verse 1: Captain Beefheart]
The world can't forget that misery
And the young ones now beggin' the old ones please
To stop bein' madmen
'Fore they have to tell their children
'Bout the burnings back in World War Three's
[Verse 2: Captain Beefheart]
War One was balls an' powder an' blood an' snow
War Two rained death an' showers an' skeletons
Danced an' screaming an dying in the ovens
Cough an' smoke an' dying by the dozens
[Chorus: Captain Beefheart]
Down in Dachau blues
Down in Dachau blues
[Verse 3: Captain Beefheart]
Three little children with doves on their shoulders
Their eyes rolled back in ecstasy crying
Please, old man stop this misery
They're countin' out the devil
With two fingers on their hands
Begging the Lord don't let the third one land
On World War Three
On World War Three

[Outro: Mark Boston]
It's attracted a lot of rats, and uh
They closed the doors, and uh
They often shut this that rush out these rats
And nothing happened
They couldn't get the rats to move, see
So they sent one fellow down there, he said um
He- stammered, uh and uh
He exactly couldn't talk at all, see
They got them down there and uh
Walls said, I'll get them out of there
And he took a stitch 'n beatin them
Thrashing them, hit them hard to get them out of there
Then started shooting em up the walls' directions
And on the wall thought he was gonna get killed
