Liner Notes

This one happened by accident

Lyrics

I met you before
Nose down in your work
Can’t hear the crying
It’s what they must deserve
If the ones in charge say so
Then you’ve got to drive that train
If everybody says so
Then you couldn’t come to blame

Yeah, this all happened before
And it’s coming around again
Your anger and frustration
Makes you moldable to them
Your captor will not teach you
What you need to be free
Who stands to benefit
When you are mad at me?

I met you before
Didn’t think they’d come
Or maybe if they do
It’s for cleaning up the slums
You will be safe
Behind the Nazi guns
In the end they came for you
They came for everyone

I met you before
And here you are again
Looking for a scapegoat
In a shrinking pool friends
Thinking you’re a traitor
When you think you might be wrong
I’m begging you to listen
To your heart and to my song
