Knock on the Door Lyrics
Artist: Phil Ochs
Album: All the News That's Fit to Sing
In many a time, in many a land,
With many a gun in many a hand,
They came by the night, they came by the day,
Came with their guns to take us away
With a knock on the door, knock on the door.
Here they come to take one more,
One more.
Back in the days of the Roman Empire,
They died by the cross and they died by the fire.
In the stone coliseum, the crowd gave a roar,
And it all began with that knock on the door
Just a knock on the door, knock on the door.
Here they come to take one more,
One more.
The years have all passed, we've reached modern times,
The Nazis have come with their Nazi war crimes.
Yes the power was there, the power was found,
Six million people have heard that same sound
That old knock on the door, knock on the door.
Here they come to take one more,
One more.
Now there's many new words and many new names,
The banners have changed but the knock is the same.
On the Soviet shores with right on their side,
I wonder who knows how many have died
With their knock on the door, knock on the door.
Here they come to take one more,
One more.
Look over the oceans, look over the lands,
Look over the leaders with the blood on their hands.
And open your eyes and see what they do,
When they knock over their friend they're knocking for you
With their knock on the door, knock on the door.
Here they come to take one more,
With their knock on the door, knock on the door.
Here they come to take one more,
One more.
