[Intro] |       |    |    |       | [Chorus]  Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! All on board!   [Verse 1] Do I see Lieutenant Calley? Do I see Captain Medina? Do I see General Koster and all his crew? Do I see President Nixon? Do I see both houses of Congress? Do I see the voters me and you? [Chorus]  Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! All on board! Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! All on board!   [Verse 2] Who held the rifle? Who gave the orders? Who planned the campaign to lay waste the land? Who manufactured the bullet? Who paid the taxes? Tell me is that blood upon my hands? [Chorus]  Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! All on board! Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! All on board! [Instrumental] |       |    |       |    | |       |    |       | [Verse 3] If five hundred thousand mothers went to Washington And said "Bring all of our boys home without delay!" Would the man they came to see say he was too busy? Would he say he had to watch a football game? [Chorus]  Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! All on board! Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! Last train to Nuremberg! All on board! [Outro] |    |

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les dilemmes moraux et les responsabilités individuelles dans un contexte de guerre. Elle interroge sur la complicité de divers acteurs, du président aux militaires, en passant par le citoyen ordinaire, face aux atrocités commises. Les paroles soulignent la question de la culpabilité collective et personnelle, en demandant qui porte réellement la responsabilité des violences. Le contexte rappelle les procès de Nuremberg, où les responsables des crimes de guerre nazis furent jugés. Ici, le parallèle est fait avec des événements contemporains, soulignant les conséquences des décisions militaires et politiques, et questionnant l’inaction face à la souffrance de ceux qui en subissent les conséquences. C'est un appel à la réflexion sur la responsabilité de chacun dans des situations de conflit et de violence.
