I Don’t Care

[WILLI GRAFF]
Got into trouble a long time ago when we were boys
I wasn't a rebel but like German kids and life's simple joys
Hiking, skiing, we would have a good time
Got arrested at fourteen, what was my sinister crime?

I ignored the decree to join the Hitler youth ranks
My goals were higher than asinine marching or tanks
Thrown in jail, what could we do?
Soon I knew what was true

I don't care what they say
Don't care what they do
'Cause there's no hope that's left
For me or for you
If they kept us apart, it would change how we thought
Before long, good moral people like us
Could forget what was right and was wrong
I don't care what they say
Don't care what they do
'Cause there's no hope that's left
For me or for you

All the things that I saw that were simply the start
What came next broke my heart

Good moral people like us
Could forget what was right and was wrong
I don't care what they say
Don't care what they do
'Cause there's no hope that's left
For me or for you
