When the Nazis came for the communists,
\nI remained silent;
\nI was not a communist.<\/p>\n
When they locked up the social democrats,
\nI remained silent;
\nI was not a social democrat.<\/p>\n
When they came for the trade unionists,
\nI did not speak out;
\nI was not a trade unionist.<\/p>\n
When they came for the Jews,
\nI remained silent;
\nI wasn’t a Jew.<\/p>\n
When they came for me,
\nthere was no one left to speak out.<\/p>\n
