The Lyrics

This version deals with a non-Jewish slave laborer at Auschwitz III, Monowitz, and the use of the IBM Hollerith machines for the original slave labor tattoos that became widespread. Too complex to explain in this box, read link below...
They put me in a zoo
prisoner #46699

Didn’t matter even if I wasn’t a Jew
SS wasn’t playin’
Slave labor-no delayin’

5-digit tattoo left me branded
Being transferred around
Reich needed labor badly
IBM Hollerith system tracked me down

They put me in a zoo
prisoner #46699
Survived the line

I survived you
I survived you
I survived you
I survived you somehow
And I don’t care
About the IBM secrecy
The truth will be revealed anyhow

Prisoner, Auschwitz 3
They put me in a zoo
prisoner #46699
(tracked, courtesy of the IBM Company)

That's why I say, IBM will be the death of us all one day! Guess who made the computes that will launch the missiles for World War 3? ;-) Yep! Excellent Job Rob! :-)
