The Schutzstaffel (German pronunciation: [ˈʃʊtsʃtafəl] ( listen), translated to Protection Squadron or defence corps, abbreviated SS—or with stylized "Armanen" sig runes) was a major paramilitary organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Built upon the Nazi ideology, the SS under Heinrich Himmler's command was responsible for many of the crimes against humanity during World War II (1939–1945). After 1945, the SS was banned in Germany, along with the Nazi Party, as a criminal organization.
The SS began as a small permanent guard unit made up of NSDAP volunteers to provide security for Nazi Party meetings in Munich. Formed at the end of 1920, they were known as the "Saal-Schutz" (Hall-Protection). Later under the leadership of Heinrich Himmler between 1929 and 1945, the SS was renamed the "Schutz-Staffel" and grew from a small paramilitary formation to one of the largest and most powerful organizations in the Third Reich.
The SS grew from a small paramilitary unit to a powerful force that served as the Führer's "Praetorian Guard", the Nazi Party's "Protection Squadron" and a force that, fielding almost a million men (both on the front lines and as political police), managed to exert as much political influence in the Third Reich as the Wehrmacht (Germany's regular armed forces).
Write what you know
So they say all I know is I don't know what to write
Or the right way to write it
This is big lady don't screw it up
This is not some little vaudeville I'm reviewing.
Poor little kids versus rich greedy sour pusses
Ha, it's a cinch
It could practically write itself
And let's pray it does cause as I may have mentioned
I have no clue what I'm doing.
Am I insane this is what I've been waiting for
Well that plus the screaming of ten angry editors.
A girl? It's a girl. How the hell? Is that even legal?
Look just go and get her.
Not only that there's a story behind the story
Thousands of children exploited
Invisible
Speak up take a stand
And there's someone to write about it.
That's how things get better.
Give life's little guys some ink
And when it dries just watch what happens.
Those kids will live and breathe right on the page
And once they're center stage
You watch what happens.
And who's there with her camera and her pen
As boys turn into men
They'll storm the gates
And then just watch what happens when they do.
*scream*
Picture a handsome heroicly charismatic
Plain spoken know-nothing
Skirt chasing cocky little son of a-
Lie down with dogs and you wake up with
A raise and a promotion.
So he's a flirt, a complete ego maniac
The fact is he's also the face of the strike
What a face
Face the fact that's a face that could save us all from
sinking in the ocean.
Like someone said power tends to corrupt
And absolute power
Wait wait corrupts absolutely
That is genius!
But give me some time
I'll be twice as good as that six months from never.
Just look around at the world we're inheriting
And think of the one we'll create
Their mistake is they got old
That is not a mistake we'll be making
No sir we'll stay young forever!
Give those kids and me the brand new century
And watch what happens.
It's David and Goliath do or die
The fight is on
And I can't watch what happens.
But all I know is
Nothing happens if you just give in.
It can't be any worse than how it's been
And it just so happens that we just might win
So whatever happens
