That Was the Voice

"That was the voice--" "Sieg heil!"

He called me faggot
When I went out for cigarettes
He came out of the shadows
And he sentenced me to death
He cracked a baseball bat across my faggot's ass
And further away I heard his woman laugh
I didn't see his face, I didn't get that choice
But I'd know him anywhere by his voice

"That was the voice--" "Sieg heil!"

If he had his little moustache
Well, I might have laughed
But he was strong, white, and sudden
He was a goon with a bat
He attacked with his ignorance, his religion
And he struck with his politics by superstition
All these issues they were black and white
He made it crystal clear this was my Crystal Night

"That was the voice--" "(Crowd cheering)"
"That was the voice--"
"That was the voice of Adolf Hitler. The most ferocious dick the world has ever known."

From Tian An Men Square to Romania
To the jails of South America
Or South Africa's Kangaroo Court
Or between my house and the liquor store
There's a little man with a little hat
He's got secret police, he's got surprise attacks
He's got tanks, guns, troops and gas
He's got homophobes with baseball bats

"That was the voice--" "Sieg heil!"
