what meanings truth and justice had
we've understood and will not pass
that bill was paid at stalingrad
(not the first time) and we are glad
to see reflected in the glass
what meanings truth and justice had
in eyes that are forever sad
seeing the bones beneath the grass
that bill was paid at stalingrad
for generations good and bad
by that immense levée-en-masse
(what meanings truth and justice had)
so demos spoke and thus forbade
the foolish claims of herrenrass
that bill was paid at stalingrad
so many folk might think us mad
to speak of mankind as one class
what meanings truth and justice had
that bill was paid at stalingrad
