The Lyrics
FICTION: Many believe that this B&W photograph shows an experimental World War II German/Czech hybrid tank in some bizarre AA role. TRUTH: This "tank" was made by man who wanted to use it for crossing the Czech state border in 1970. However, the engine failed and then he went to Austria by bike! See pics below...
Man-made tank post WW2
No German design
Built it to cross border, break-through
He was tryin’
Looked frightenin’
You know he couldn’t stand it
Being stuck in his town
Fake tank looked deadly
Painted it oddly to confound
Man-made tank post WW2
No German design
Czech kind
He built you
He built you
He built you
Although it was illegal
It was a tank scare
Engine broke down easily
Crossed over on a bicycle!!!
Austria-free!

That has a tiny turret, so did the gun actually work? Cammo looks like a first world war pattern too!
Honestly, i don't think so. I think the man was just trying to get across the border and the fake tank looked scary enough to get through. Not sure what the Czech or Austrain border guards would have made of it had it kept running...
