It could be Germany in 1933
But you don't wanna know
They've got their uniforms marching up and down the streets

But you shut your eyes and go back home
It could be Russia in 1937
But you don't wanna know

The purges have started but it's not your family
So turn your head and you let them go


They're getting closer
But I don't wanna know
It could be England in 1984

But you don't wanna know
They've got your family now you're a little insecure
But there's no-one left to help now there's no-one anymore
