They Said It Couldn’t Happen Here

 

They said it couldn’t happen here

they were always saying that

don’t look now but the nails are being driven in

in one hand is the Holy Bible and in the other is Mein Kampf

 

They’re letting you know

Father knows best

they’re telling you to dig your own hole

if you know what’s best

 

I wasn’t there when it happened

but I saw the livestream when I got home from work

they took down the stars and stripes from atop the White House

and raised up the Swastika

 

They are politely letting you know

that Father knows best

and if you don’t like it, Junior

you’re welcome to leave with the rest

 

Blood oaths are taking place on 5th Avenue

the faithful are slavishly drooling on one another

the Seig Heil’s were heard from coast to coast
