LIVING IN THE FOURTH REICH
By Gary Steven Corseri
In the Third Reich we said, We were just following orders.
Today we say, We’re just doing our job.
In the Third Reich, We were anti-Semitic.
(We hated the Jews.)
In the Fourth Reich, We are anti-Semitic.
(We hate the Arabs.)
In the Third Reich, We had our Minister of Information.
Goebbels said, If you tell a lie big enough
And often enough People believe it.
In the Fourth Reich, We have Corporate Media.
We get 24-7 lies, Interspersed with commercials.
In the Third Reich, We had sturm und drang.
In the Fourth Reich, We have shock and awe.
In the Third Reich. We said Poland was a threat
And we made an alliance with that Communist Stalin.
In the Fourth Reich, We say Iran is a threat
And we make an alliance, With that terrorist in Uzbekistan.
In the Third Reich, We had “democracy,”
We elected our national leader.
In the Fourth Reich, We have “democracy,”
We elect our national leader.
In the Third Reich, We despised the French.
In the Fourth Reich, We eat Freedom Fries.
In the Third Reich
Good Germans Didn’t Know What was going on
In the concentration camp down the road.
In the Fourth Reich
Good Americans Don’t Care About Torture at Guantanamo.
The Third Reich wrapped itself
In a dark kind of religious symbolism.
We put Gott mit uns on our SS buckles.
In the Fourth Reich we wrap ourselves
In dark religious symbolism.
Our Generals say, Kill one for Jesus.
In the Third Reich
We incinerated the body of der Fuhrer.
In the Fourth Reich
He has risen from the ashes.
