I'm German, you're Jewish

How could we ever make it through this?

I've got this problem, that seems to linger

Everytime I find myself around your finger 

This would make more sense, in another time

Not in America where we're westernized

But if we were, what would I do

What would I have said to what we've gone through? 



War won't stop me, I'm no Nazi

That's why i'd never tell

If you were fighting, surviving hiding

Behind an old bookshelf 



I'm German, you're Jewish

How could we ever make it through this?

I've got this problem, that seems to linger

Everytime I find myself around your finger 



you've always been above, in some higher class

i'm just a small rockstar, you're an actress

what could i say, to ever prove to you

that there can be a love between a German and a Jew? 



War won't stop me, I'm no Nazi

That's why i'd never tell

If you were fighting, surviving hiding

Behind an old bookshelf...
