Lyrics to Heaven 17's "We Don't Need This Fascist Grove Thing"

[Dr Vegas]

(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang
Heaven 17
Have you heard it on the news
About this fascist groove thang
Evil men with racist views
Spreading all across the land
Don't just sit there on your ass
Unlock that funky chaindance
Brothers, sisters shoot your best
We don't need this fascist groove thang
Brothers, sisters, we don't need this fascist groove thang
History will repeat itself
Crisis point we're near the hour
Counterforce will do no good
Hot you ass I feel your power
Hitler proves that funky stuff
Is not for you and me girl
Europe's an unhappy land
They've had their fascist groove thang
Brothers, sisters, we don't need this fascist groove thang
Democrats are out of power
Across that great wide ocean
Reagan's president elect
Fascist god in motion
Generals tell him what to do
Stop your…

libeled President Reagan. We know the answer to that in retrospect. His election publicly signaled the early growth of right wing extremism in response to our nation's dominant liberalism, the smoke of occult fascism bursting into first flickering flame and growing in strength on the right ever since.

Well, our grandparents put a stop to the huge threat that arose in their time. Much larger crowds marched and chanted death to liberalism and democracy in those days, their destructive passions mirrored by extremist socialist movements on the left. They fought by electing Democrats, who used that emergency to create the liberal New Deal, the very antithesis of fascism and neutralizing agent against extremism on both right and left, and now it's our turn.

Liberalism is the individual, fascism is the state. ~ Benito Mussolini.
