Lyrics
die Weiße Rose
Copyright Timbre Wolf
He who trades his own liberty for
security deserves neither
And if they spy on you all day long, well now
You don't care, you done nothin' wrong
Well ya know it doesn't work like that
You don't get to decide
If they think that what you've done is wrong
Then it's wrong, and you're gone.
A White Rose grew under Hitler's boot
It meant certain death for it's leaders
Sophie Scholl, her brother and friends said they'd
do it again but it meant their end
Well ya know it only works like that
You just have to decide
If you think that what they do is wrong
Then it's wrong, and they're gone.
It's not gonna go in your direction (No, No)
If you don't put up the action (Huh, uh)
It's not gonna go in our direction (No, No)
If we don't take some action (Huh, uh)
Black train of death it is com'in 'round
Look out! It's in the station
The people are cryin' out all day long
but you don't care, you've done nothin' wrong
Well ya know it doesn't work like that
You don't get to decide
If they think that what you've done is wrong
Then it's wrong, and you're gone.
