First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

​

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

​

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

​

Then they came for the jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a jew

​

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me
