The first line of this spoken-word track opens with an evocation of fascism. "German puppets burned the Jews," Cohen intones, before bringing things up-to-date. Puppet Presidents command Puppet troops to burn the land And closer to home. Puppet lovers in their bliss Turn away from all of this Puppet reader shakes his head Takes his puppet wife to bed
Cohen's litany of accusation is offset by a chorus from the combined voices of the Shaar Hashomayim choir and Cantus Domus from Berlin - "Germans and Jews singing together as if in a classical Greek play," producer Adam Cohen (Leonard's son) puts it to The Guardian.
