And, how can I forget one of my most favorite lyricists/singers, Captain Beefheart!

Two from him :hmm:

Captain Beefheart - Dachau Blues

Dachau blues those poor Jews
Dachau blues those poor Jews
Dachau blues, Dachau blues those poor Jews
Still cryin` `bout the burnin` back in World War Two`s
One mad man six million lose
Down in Dachau blues, down in Dachau blues

The world can`t forget that misery
`n the young ones now beggin` the old ones please
t` stop bein` madmen
`fore they have t` tell their children
`bout the burnin`s back in World War Three`s

War One was balls `n powder `n blood `n snow
War Two rained death `n showers `n skeletons
Dancin` `n screamin` `n dyin` in the ovens
Cough `n smoke `n dyin` by the dozens
Down in Dachau blues
Down in Dachau blues

Sweet little children with doves on their shoulders
Their eyes rolled back in ecstasy cryin`
Please old man stop this misery
They`re countin` out the devil
With two fingers on their hands
Beggin` the Lord don`t let the third one land
On World War Three
On World War Three...

Captain Beefheart - My Human Gets Me Blues
Quote:

I saw yuh baby dancin' in yer x'ray gingham dress
I knew you were under duress
I knew you under yer dress
Just keep comin' Jesus
Yer the best dressed
You look dandy in the sky but you don't scare me
Cause I got you here in my eye
In this lifetime you got 'mhumangetsmeblues
With yer jaw hangin' slack 'n yer hair's curlin'
Like an ole navy fork stickin' in the sunset
The way you were dancins I knew youwd never come back
You were strainin 't' keep yer'
Old black cracked patent shoes
In this lifetime you got m'humangetsmeblues
Well the way you'd been ole lady
I could see the fear in yer windows
Under yer furry crawlin' brow
Uh silver bow rings up in inches
You were afraid you'd be the devils red wife
But it's alright God dug yer dance
'n would have you young 'n in his harum
Dress you the way he wants cause he never had uh doll
Cause everybody made him uh boy
'n God didn't think t' ask his preference
You can bring yer dress 'n yer favorite dog
'n yer husbands cane
'n yer old spotted hog
Cause in this lifetime
You've got m'humangetsmeblues
