lyrics

First they came for the immigrants
But I was not an immigrant
So I said nothing

Next they came for the unemployed
But I was not unemployed
So I said nothing

Then they came for the old and sick
And took away their walking stick
But I was not old and sick
So I said nothing

When they came for the young and bold
I was not young and bold
So I said nothing

Finally they came for me
But by then no one was still free
To stand up tall
And speak for me
So no one said nothing
No one said anything at all
