John Wesley Harding - Hitler's Tears lyrics

Your rating:


One man's tears stain the pillow

Where he used to lay his head

She's left him for another man

So how come they're both sleeping in his bed?

He can hardly sleep for misery

You can hear him catch his breath

And he grinds his teeth into the night

And God says "Hey, Adolf, are you alright?"



One boy's tears stain the paper

Where he writes his Christmas list

And he inks in broken German

"I wanna be a fine artist"

Then he wipes out half a continent

With one flick of his wrist

He's so lonely, so misunderstanding

As he pulls his blanket across the landing





You can hear them falling every day (Hitler's tears)

Just open up the newspaper (Hitler's tears)

You can hide, there's no escape from Hitler's tears--

Just what makes the führer blue?

He's crying for you





One man's tears--he was a fascist

Before it was cool

'Cos now it's so expected

Just accept it that power is cruel

So he'll apply for reinstatement

By new reincarnation rules

'Cos he's the only man, most certainly

Who could claim to have lerned from history





Hitler cries himself to sleep, alone in Brazil, no-one calls

How must it feel to be the biggest loser of them all?





One man's tears--saltwater salutes the final trip

A thousand naughty Nazis

A fraülein with a bullwhip

A lullaby of Über Alles

A shaking upper lip

It's all become a Whitehall farce

That's how we tear our fears apart

But you shouldn't take it straight to heart

So the rest of us can get some sleep tonight





You can hear them falling everyday...
