Hitler's Tears Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

One man's tears stain the pillow 

Where he used to lay his head 

She's left him for another man 

So how come they're both sleeping in his bed? 

He can hardly sleep for misery 

You can hear him catch his breath 

And he grinds his teeth into the night 

And God says, "Hey, Adolf, are you alright?" 

One boy's tears stain the paper 

Where he writes his Christmas list 

And he inks in broken German 

Send me the skill of a fine artist 

Then he wipes out half a continent 

With a flick of his wrist 

He's so lonely, so misunderstanding 

As he pulls his blanket across the landing 

You can hear them falling every day, the Hitler's tears 

Just open up the newspaper, Hitler's tears 

You can hide, there's no escape from Hitler's tears 

Just what makes the fuhrer blue? 

He's crying for you 

He's crying for you 

He's crying 

One man's tears, he was a fascist 

Before it was cool 

'Cause now it's so expected 

Just accept it that power is cruel 

So he'll apply for reinstatement 

Using the reincarnation rules 

He's the only man, most certainly 

Who could claim to have learned from history 

You can hear them falling every day, Hitler's tears 

Just open up the newspaper, Hitler's tears 

You can hide, there's no escape from, Hitler's tears 

Just what makes the fuhrer blue? 

He's crying for you 

Hitler cries himself to sleep 

Alone in Brazil, no one calls 

How must it feel to be 

The biggest loser of them all? 

One man's tears, saltwater salutes the final trip 

A thousand naughty Nazis 

A Fraulein with a bull whip 

A lullaby of Uber Allis, a shaking upper lip 

It's all become a Whitehall farce 

That's how we tear our fears apart 

But you shouldn't take it straight to heart 

So the rest of us can get some sleep tonight 

Hitler's tears 

Just open up the newspaper, Hitler's tears 

You can hide, there's no escape from, Hitler's tears 

Just open up the newspaper, Hitler's tears 

Just open up the newspaper, Hitler's tears 

Hitler's tears 

Hitler's tears 

Hitler's tears
