The Nazi came first for the communists
But I wasn't a communists,
So I didn't speak up
Then they came for the Jews,
But I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionist,
But I wasn't a trade unionist.
So I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the catholics,
But I was a protestant,
So I didn't speak up.
Then they came for me,
By that time there was no one left to speak for me.
