Verse 3
-------
A
Still they come up to me
G
With a different name and same old face
A
I can see the connection
G
With another time and another place
A
No they ain't blond-haired or blue-eyed
G
But they think that they're the master race
A
They're nothing but blind fascists
G
Brought up to hate and given lives to waste
