John Wesley Harding - Hitler's Tears Lyrics
One mans tears stain the pillowWhere he used to lay his headShes left him for another manSo how come theyre both sleeping in his bed?He can hardly sleep for miseryYou can hear him catch his breathAnd he grinds his teeth into the nightAnd God says hey, adolf, are you alright?One boys tears stain the paperWhere he writes his christmas listAnd he inks in broken germanI wanna be a fine artistThen he wipes out half a continentWith one flick of his wristHes so lonely, so misunderstandingAs he pulls his blanket across the landingYou can hear them falling every day (hitlers tears)Just open up the newspaper (hitlers tears)You can hide, theres no escape from hitlers tears--Just what makes the fhrer blue?Hes crying for youOne mans tears--he was a fascistBefore it was coolcos now its so expectedJust accept it that power is cruelSo hell apply for reinstatementBy new reincarnation rulescos hes the only man, most certainlyWho could claim to have lerned from historyHitler cries himself to sleep, alone in brazil, no-one callsHow must it feel to be the biggest loser of them all?One mans tears--saltwater salutes the final tripA thousand naughty nazisA fralein with a bullwhipA lullaby of über allesA shaking upper lipIts all become a whitehall farceThats how we tear our fears apartBut you shouldnt take it straight to heartSo the rest of us can get some sleep tonightYou can hear them falling everyday...
