The song of the painter Hitler


1
The painter Hitler said:
Let me at it, dear people, for you!
And he took a fresh tub of whitewash
And painted Germany's house anew.
Germany's whole house anew.

2
The painter Hitler said:
It doesn't take long to rebuild!
And the holes and the cracks and the faults
Can all just with paint be filled.
The whole shit with paint is filled.

3
Oh, painter Hitler
A manson is what you should be!
When the rain hits the whitewash on your house
The dirt is there again for all to see.
The whole shithouse is there to see.

4
The painter Hitler never studied colour
It never really gave him a kick
And even as he was let at it
On everything he laid it on thick.
On all Germany he laid it on thick.

Bertolt Brecht
1898 - 1956
