Her tattoo is a choice.
She has a dove on her shoulder.
Her Grandmother had no voice.
Nazi put a number on her arm.
Wishful kin of Hitler's master race try to
convince themselves and the world
Auschwitz didn't actually exist.
Hitler's death camps are there when American troops march in and discover the gas chambers.
It's over over there.
U.S. Gas pumps welcome the Volkswagen
War weary German youth, welcome American jazz,
Ella Fitzgerald entertains at a concert in Berlin.
The swinging good will ambassador scats "Mac The Knife."
All the citizens of the world should be free to choose a
tattoo that is a dove of peace, not a number
Germany may be forgiven but the Holocaust not forgotten.
