Get Clean

  • The numbers on my wrist say I'm a cog in the machine,
    And the sounds above the front gate tells me "Work will set me free,"
    I'm sleeping on this mattress stained by men who died before,
    There's a hole inside my broken heart and locks on all the doors,

    GET CLEAN!

    All together now, one, two three,
    Don't be scared, just stand with me,
    Hold my hand, try not to breathe,
    All together now!

    I shovel dirt on a pile of bodies far too big to burn,
    I recognize a childhood friend who tells me that my turn,
    Is coming like the winter winds that chill me to the bone,
    In chambers dance with screams and tears we still die alone,

    GET CLEAN!

    All together now, one, two three,
    Don't be scared, just stand with me,
    Hold my hand, try not to breathe,
    All together now!

    Single file,
    Through the door...

    Wall to wall,
    Ceiling to floor...

    I am not afraid to die,
    I just wish that I knew why...

    All together now, one, two three,
    Don't be scared, just stand with me,
    Hold my hand, try not to breathe,
    All together now!

    All together now, one, two three,
    Don't be scared, just stand with me,
    Hold my hand, try not to breathe,
    All together now!

    GET CLEAN!

  • Jacob from Elderwood , CaI had an epiphany when listening to this song with the line, "I only wish I knew why" and then it hit me that Jews didn't know why Nazis were killing them. Great song!
