hagar, maybe those guys in the bathroom actually said this bong was built in a prison in Africa...
the song is ostensibly about some bleak situation in the future, but in reality is a description of what it must have felt like to have been liberated by allied forces at the end of WWII... the camp survivors had been imprisoned and starved for so long and none of them had any idea of whether the outside world had any idea of what was going on inside the camps or whether they had been totally forgotten... when the American soldiers came at last to liberate the camps, the prisoners probably could not be sure that what was happening was true... were they liberators or were they German soldiers coming to finish the Jews off? "Do I hope, or do I fear?"
