Story behind the song
Riffing off of a Robb Johnson song (and a Pete Seeger song).
Lyrics
Is there a flag upon your house And a flag upon your car And a ribbon on your mailbox With the stars and bars Do you support the president And the war for oil Do you think your sons belong There on someone else's soil How far is it from here to Nuremberg? Did you hear about Falluja And the hundred thousand dead Did you hear about the torture In the newspapers you read Did you pretend it didn't matter Did you blame a few bad men Did you think your leaders Wouldn't just do it all again How far is it from here to Nuremberg? Did you design the software That ran the engine in the tank Or were you pushing papers At City Bank Were you in Seattle Turning bombers into gold Or did you pull the trigger `Cause you did what you were told How far is it from here to Nuremberg? Or did you take your kids to school Go off to your job Send your taxes off in April To help support the mob Did you vote the lesser evil And think it's all a shame Did you think that this alone Could take away the blame How far is it from here to Nuremberg?
