lyrics

Discourse full of superlatives
Targeting “inferior races”
Laws mandated and pervasive

“Gestation rejects” without favor
Sideshow “freaks” in incubators
“Retard their growth and classify them later”

CHORUS:
A law modeled to deceive
In 1933
Prevention of the “disease”
Of “defective progeny”
“The problem’s in their genes
Let’s sterilize them clean”

And what did Laughlin receive
An honorary degree
From the Nazi regime
The art of “racial cleansing”
“A subhuman species
They’re not even human beings”

Margaret Sanger’s latent message
“Let’s sterilize the poor defectives
A cost-efficient contraceptive”

“The Negroes, Jews, deformed, and homeless
Human stocks of ugly heritage”
Holocaust the same prescriptive

CHORUS 2:
A concentration of poor
A declaration of war
What California stood for
Right here on Tiergarten 4
Don’t wanna know anymore
We don’t remember anymore

A reified rhetoric
That “they have no right to live
And they won’t ever be missed”
So say the eugenicists
And we can never forget
And we can never forget

“Fitter Families” fairs and contests
Anglo-Saxon prerequisite
Pseudo-scientific bullshit

Smoking chimneys leaving traces
Of hairs and ashes but no faces
Euthanasia spares no graces

CHORUS 3:
A law modeled to deceive
In 1933
Prevention of the “disease”
Of “defective progeny”
“The problem’s in their genes
Let’s sterilize them clean”

A reified rhetoric
That “they have no right to live
And they won’t ever be missed”
So say the eugenicists
And we can never forget
And we can never forget

Never forget—that it happened here
Never forget—that it happened here
Eugenocide
Eugenocide
Your genocide
My genocide
Our genocide
