Munich

Lyrics

[TRAIN CONDUCTOR, spoken] Munich, last stop, Munich [SOPHIE SCHOLL] Small towns like ours have small minded people Who never looked beyond their front door My father called me the family dreamer But always knew I longed for more I had to get out I had to break free All they could see is All they could see Poets and artists all found their way here Some people still cling onto hope and not fear To the dreamers not blind to this beautiful view In Munich I dream that I'll find my way too [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Oh, excuse me! [LILA RAMDOHR, spoken] No problem You look like you could use some directions [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Is it that obvious? [LILA RAMDOHR, spoken] What are you looking for? [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] A museum—any museum [LILA RAMDOHR, spoken] To be honest, I haven't been in Munich very long myself There are a few that are still open—those with approved art [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] That's what I was afraid of [LILA RAMDOHR, spoken] You know there's a war on, right? [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] I know I know! [LILA RAMDOHR, spoken] Good luck [SOPHIE SCHOLL] I had to get out I had to break free All they could see is All they could see [HANS SCHOLL, spoken] Sophie! You were supposed to wait for me at the station I promised Mom and Dad I would look out for you You can't just wander around Munich [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Isn't that the Museum of Modern Art? [HANS SCHOLL, spoken] Yeah SS headquarters now Come on, we have to hurry I'm gonna be late for philosophy [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Well, I enrolled, too [HANS SCHOLL, spoken] In modern philosophy? Seriously? [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Professor Huber, right? [HANS SCHOLL, spoken] Just keep your mouth shut on the first day, will ya? [KURT HUBER, spoken] Mr. Scholl, nice of you to join us As I was saying, in this course You will not merely regurgitate what others tell you You will speak the truth And you will write the truth A great man once wrote "A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks" [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Heinrich Heine [KURT HUBER, spoken] And you are? [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Scholl! Sophie Scholl [KURT HUBER, spoken] We are not allowed to discuss philosophers That our beloved Führer has decreed to be unfit [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] But Heine was the greatest German poet to have ever lived [KURT HUBER, spoken] Miss Scholl, you are simply mistaken We would never discuss banned works! Those were the words of, uh, Wilfried Schneider [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] But sir, I'm certain they were written by Heinrich Hei— [KURT HUBER, spoken] Wilfried Schneider also wrote "I have never seen an ass who talked like a human being But I met many human beings who talked like asses" Yes? [MAN, spoken] Are we going to be tested on this? [KURT HUBER, spoken] In more ways than you know [KURT HUBER] They watch what I do and hear what I say Follow my actions and words every day I can't change the world in which I'm forced to live I try to change theirs, that's what I can give [SOPHIE SCHOLL] I had to get out I had to break free All they could see is All they could see [SOPHIE SCHOLL & ENSEMBLE] Poets and artists all found their way here Some people still cling on to hope and not fear To the dreamers, not blind to this beautiful view In Munich I dream that I'll find my way [LILA RAMDOHR, spoken] Hey, art lover! Find any museums? [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Not yet I'm Sophie by the way [LILA RAMDOHR, spoken] I'm Lila, nice to meet you, officially [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] This is my brother, Hans [LILA RAMDOHR, spoken] Nice to meet you [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] You sell everything here [MAX DREXLER, spoken] What is that? A printing press of some sort? [LILA RAMDOHR, spoken] Well, yes, it's a mimeograph, sir [MAX DREXLER, spoken] And what exactly are you doing with a mimeograph? [LILA RAMDOHR, spoken] Mostly party invitations In fact, I'm printing wedding invitations for another SS officer now Maybe you know him? His name is— [MAX DREXLER, spoken] How much is this? [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Why bother buying something you're just gonna burn? [HANS SCHOLL, spoken] Sophie! [MAX DREXLER, spoken] What did you say? [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Nothing, to you [HANS SCHOLL, spoken] I'm sorry, sir, she's new to Munich [MAX DREXLER, spoken] How dare you talk to me like that? [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Do you think this uniform scares me? [MAX DREXLER, spoken] It should! [FREDERICK FISCHER, spoken] What is going on here? [MAX DREXLER, spoken] Fischer, I've got this under control This woman was disturbing the peace And disrespected an officer of the Reich [FREDERICK FISCHER, spoken] As I've told you before, Drexler, this is my jurisdiction I'll take it from here If I find any Jews you may have missed, I will call you Sophie! [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Frederick! [FREDERICK FISCHER, spoken] What the hell are you doing in Munich? [HANS SCHOLL, spoken] What the hell are you doing in Munich? [FREDERICK FISCHER, spoken] Oh, of course You can't have one without the other [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] You're Gestapo now? [FREDERICK FISCHER, spoken] Uh, no, I'm—I'm, police—not Gestapo [HANS SCHOLL, spoken] Same thing [FREDERICK FISCHER, spoken] Police, big difference [HANS SCHOLL, spoken] If you say so [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Frederick, what happened? [FREDERICK FISCHER, spoken] This is not the time or place [SOPHIE SCHOLL, spoken] Well, am I under arrest? [FREDERICK FISCHER, spoken] Just go [HANS SCHOLL?] This city was once the true German heart Now terror and fear replaced culture and art [KURT HUBER?] Order, obedience, no one dares to speak their mind When darkness took over they chose to stay blind [SOPHIE SCHOLL] I had to get out I had to break free [LILA RAMDOHR] All they can see is All they can see [ENSEMBLE] Poets and artists all found their way here [KURT HUBER] Does anyone listen, can anyone hear? [ENSEMBLE] Some people still cling on to hope and not fear To the dreamers, not blind to this beautiful view Poets and artists all found their way here Some people still cling on to hope and not fear To the dreamers, not blind to this beautiful view [SOPHIE SCHOLL] In Munich I dream that I'll find [SOPHIE SCHOLL & ENSEMBLE] In Munich I dream that I'll find In Munich I dream that I'll find My way My way too
