Fingers Crossed - Pigfarmer Jr

Though we all went out to vote in the spring of '32
The changes coming wouldn't stop, the flames that they would induce
We thought that we had won on the thirteenth of March
And again in the April vote, but the workers would tear us apart

Won't you keep your fingers crossed
That even though he may have lost
We can somehow keep the people free
Won't you keep your fingers crossed
That we won't have to pay the cost for
Implementing the Reichstag Fire Decree

Hindenburg was president in January '33
And still in February when he would sign the decree
The national socialists would be able to take control
When Hindenburg would die, that would be the final blow

Won't you keep your fingers crossed
That even though he may have lost
We can somehow keep the people free
Won't you keep your fingers crossed
That we won't have to pay the cost for
Implementing the Reichstag Fire Decree

I feel the walls are coming down
Holding back the power of the evil clown
Pen and ink stole our liberty

Won't you keep your fingers crossed
That even though he may have lost
We can somehow keep the people free
Won't you keep your fingers crossed
That we won't have to pay the cost for
Implementing the Reichstag Fire Decree

Having written my fair share of Wikipedia songs, I can't really judge. I have to admit though, when I first heard "Reichstag fire" I just shook my head. Listening to some of your songs reminds of why I can't deal with Twitter these days, everything is just too political.
