Here to Weimar

from Kabakunst by The Creative Martyrs

lyrics

It’s a long way from Weimar to here

It’s a long way from Weimar to here
It’s a long way from Weimar to here
We’re only two years short of the Century
Some say comparisons are clear

It’s a long way from Weimar to here
It’s a long way from Weimar to here
They reaped the rewards of ignorant sophistry
Democracy died with a cheer

You heard all the rhetoric
So make what you will of it
From the 3rd Reich to Trump and Brexit
We’ll fix it with our Kabarett

We will pour all our ire
Into exquisite satire
We will expose all the liars
We will put out the fires

It’s a long way from here to Weimar
I’s a long way from here to Weimar
As the progress of the decades is turned on its head
We thought progress had come too far to be dead

It’s not a long way from Weimar to here
It’s not a long way from Weimar to here
The people have spoken, the experts were broken
And now the new normal is here

The Creative Martyrs Glasgow, UK

The Creative Martyrs, first appeared in 1883, performing cabaret song and speciality acts.

It was not until their Weimar Cabaret acts of the 1920s that the by then jaded Martyrs found a sympathetic ear.

They further developed their cynicism in the vaudeville shows of 1940s America by which time they were considered passé.

Now the Martyrs will play anywhere that will have them. ... more
