    Nobody was worried when it was happening in the town over

    Nobody was worried when it was their neighbor

    Everybody lied to themselves when it was their friend

    And by the time it came to them there was nothing left but panic and dread.

      First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
           Because I was not a socialist.
      
      Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
           Because I was not a trade unionist.
      
      Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
           Because I was not a Jew.
      
      Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
      

      Ironic with the switcheroo on the last group

        Remember the Turner Diaries, on the Day of the Rope they don’t kill the minorities or queer folks or other “lesser thans”, they kill all the white people who are “race traitors” because they’re not also fascists.

        You are never safe from them, you’re just further down the list than who they’re after at this moment.
