First they came for the communists, and I did not speak up,

for I was not a communist.

Then they came for the social democrats,
and I did not speak up,
for I was not a social democrat.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I did not speak up,
for I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, I did not speak up,

for I was not a Jew.

And then when they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out for me.
