Austrian Moustache

[Verse 1]

Forty days and forty nights

I’ve been standing on the precipice

Of an Austrian moustache

And wondered who am I?

And if I die, will I be immortalised?

Like the ashes flying out the crematorium

In Mauthausen

Where I saw a photograph

Of a man with an Austrian moustache

He had been gassed

And his eyes could not comprehend

And I could not comprehend


[Refrain]

Why (Why)

Why (Why)

Why (Why)

Why (Why)

Why (Why)

Why (Why)

Why (Why)

Why (Why)


[Verse 2]

Doctor Mengele said "Make a cut

Stitch it to another leg

Stitch your body to another person's head

Do it for the master race

Do it for the living and the dead

If you don't, then you’ll end up as a lampshade"

In a Nazi party bureaucratic death camp

Like Mauthausen

Where I saw the photograph

Of a man with an Austrian moustache

He had been gassed

And his eyes could not comprehend

And I could not comprehend


[Refrain]

Why (Why)

Why (Why)

Why (Why)

Why (Why)

Why (Why)

Why (Why)

Why (Why)

Why (Why)


[Chorus]

Shower me, shower me, shower me (Shower me)

Shower me, it's time for me, shower me (Shower me)

Shower me, shower me, shower me (Shower me)

Shower me, it's time for me, shower me (Shower me)

It's raining bombs outside

Don't deny another genocide

It's raining bombs outside

(Shower me, shower me, shower me)

Don't deny another genocide

(Shower me, shower me)

(Post-Chorus)

The world's half crazy all the time

Better work on my own mind

The world's half crazy all the time

Better work on my own mind
