Who's your leader, who's your man?
Who will help you fill your hand?
Who's your friend and who's your foe?
Who's your Judas, you don't know?

Night of the long knives

Where's that saviour, where's that light
When you're praying for your life?
Who's that fighting back to back?
Who's defending whose attack?

Night of the long knives

(Stick 'em in the back woods)

Night of the long knives

Send "Night Of The Long Knives" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:Its about a night with knives...many knives. ac/dc is a band who like to mess around with many knives and cut up trees and stuff. I don't know why you think Hitler is involved here?

    General Comment:Night of the Long Knives was when Hitler betrayed the leaders of the SA and killed them

    He then used the rest of the SA to create the SS

    He did this because the SA had a bad reputation and the Army didnt like them

    General Comment:For AC/DC that's a pretty wierd thing to reference in a song. Interesting, though. But hey, the album For Those About To Rock was a reference to the salute of the Roman gladiators before going to battle, so... could be.

    General Comment:The Night of the Long Knives was a turning point in the history of Hitler's Germany. Hitler had made it clear that he was the supreme ruler of Germany who had the right to be judge and jury, and had the power to decide whether people lived or died.
