Fascism Blues

The shrink promised the survivor
He'd never ask him to refrain
From self annihilation
He knew to do so
Would be a meaningless proposition
With that they started their session

And who am I to feel blue?
I've only experienced it in ink and glue
This darkness
This Shoah
It feels like most people haven't got a clue
Do they understand human cruelty?
What this cancer of hate can actually do?

When your knowledge clairvoyant
Allows glimpses of the most abhorrent
Hostile language always on view
That makes me nothing to you
Just a "thing" and an "it"
Stripped of humanity
Goddamn this calamity
Can't you see where we're headed to?

But who am I to feel blue?
