Sex Pistols: Belsen Was A Gas Meaning


Belsen Was A Gas Lyrics

Belsen was a gas I heard the other day
In the open graves where the jews all lay
Life is fun and I wish you were here
They wrote on postcards to those held dear
Oh dear

Sergeant majors on the march
Wash the bodies in the starch
See them all die...

    It is worth noting that the same pelpoe who are so aggressive about the military option for Iran are also the strongest supporters of missile defense in Eastern Europe. They make the case that the deployments of a system which is of very uncertain technical capacity must be deployed to help protect Poland, Bulgaria etc from Iranian attack. They claim that this should not be perceived as a threat against Russia. Yet, Russia sees this as a shield coupled with an existing sword of western nuclear arsenals and somehow does not believe that the US would spend so much treasure on protecting Poland from the threat of Iran for some odd reason. The US continues to argue that Russia should not be concerned and yet we know that the deep cuts in nuclear arsenals needed to move toward a safer world cannot politically be obtained from Russia's leaders while we deploy missile defense against Iran to protect Poland. Some of this madness does not pass the laugh test. If it were not so terrifyingly dangerous I would be laughing too. Jonathan Granoff
