First they came for the communists,
  and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist,

Then they came for the socialists,
  and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
  and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
  and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics,
  and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Catholic.

Then they came for me,
  and there was no one left to speak for me.
