Weimar Republic

                                   

                                    To the tune of “Beer Barrel Polka

                                   

                                    Weimar Republic,

                                    It looks like we're seeing it here.

                                    Weimar Republic,

                                    No, we're not singing of beer.

                                    Our values disrupted,

                                    With the ones who have done it the same.

                                    Institutions corrupted,

                                    Along with their power comes blame.

 

                                    See what they did there.

                                    Berlin was a center of sin.

                                    Subverters hid there,

                                    Producing collapse from within.

                                    Weimar Republic,

                                    A past we're supposed to forget,

                                    But with our First Amendment,

                                    They haven't muzzled us yet.

                                    But with our First Amendment,

They haven't muzzled us yet.

David Martin
