Schindler's List: The Musical
Jon Kaplan, Al Kaplan
GENRE
[Amon Goeth]
Jews
Everywhere I look, I see more Jews
As a people, they're convenient to accuse
They're disgusting little creatures
With exaggerated features
So why is it lately that I'm confused?
It's a simple thing to raise a gun and shoot one in the head
Just a single bullet and then the Jew is dead
But now I wonder, can there be another way like Oskar said?
Do I stay my urge to kill and try three little words instead?
[Oskar Schindler]
"I pardon you."
[Goeth]
I pardon you, I pardon you
It's not your fault, it's God's, he made you Jewish
I pardon you, I've been too hard on you
So run along and start your life anew
Jews
Everywhere I look, I see more Jews
We reduce them into piles of teeth and shoes
Like any other German
I treat them like they're vermin
So where's the fun in saying, "You're excused"?
When I think about this different path, I shake my head and laugh
It's ridiculous, there's only one solution
I get angry, and I blame them for the ring around my bath
But I seek a greater power than a simple execution
I pardon you, I pardon you
'Cause I'm the commandant, you fucking Jew-bitch!
I pardon you, At least I think I do
I'm trying out a different point of view
(He pardons you)
I pardon you
(He pardons you)
I pardon you
(It's not your fault, it's God's, he made you Jewish)
I'm trying, I pardoned you, I feel so odd and new
But to spare them is to care, and if I let them live, we lose
If mercy is a weakness, I refuse
(He pardons you)
I simply cannot do this, I detest Jews!
Jews
Everywhere I look, I see more Jews
What have I been thinking? They're the Jews
Jews
