“Keep your head down”

Keep your head down,
and you'll be safe.

Ignore what's being done to others,
look after yourself.

Keep your head down,
you'll be safe.

The prejudice and hate
isn't directed at people like you.

Keep your head down,
you'll be safe.

Don't take on others' problems,
they're not your concern.

Keep your head down,
you'll be safe.

Don't challenge
the prejudice and hate.

Keep your head down,
and you'll be safe.

"Do it to Julia! Not me!
Julia! I don't care what you do to her."

Niemöller weeps.
